Lyrics
Molly Ringwald doesn't like to be at home
She doesn't want to have to put her life on hold
She's the one that doesn't like to do what's told
She's a women in the sense she thinks she's old
Molly Ringwald, how did she become so bold?
Molly Ringwald is so full of angst today
She loves to dive in headlong to adversity
She's the one that brushes all her fears away
She's the one that loves to waste another day
Molly Ringwald, how can she maintain that pace?
Molly Ringwald thinks she has her life controlled
She doesn't have to think about what's sensible
She's the one that loves to instigate trouble
'cause she thinks that life is tedious and dull
Molly Ringwald, she is so invincible
Chorus
...because she's dead
I want to be
I want to see
Don't you see that
Molly, Molly Ringwald is dead
