Cover art for Pixie lyrics by Ani DiFranco

I interpreted this song as mocking the people that simpy "all hold hands and pretend we're (they're) having a good time". The protagonist in the song is passive and opinionless - a simple 'paperdoll', who smiles and would rather sit back in ignorance than question the things around her. Of course, we know that this isn't Ani's 'voice' at all, as she is a woman who will - and does - stand up and speak her mind about issues.
