BARBIE NATION
|
Written by R. Stonehill, T. Taylor
|
She was told when she was young
|
Ah - that blondes always have more fun
|
Lie lie lie dirty lie du du dumb
|
Perfect hair perfect waste
|
With a perfect prom queen smile upon her face
|
For everyone
|
|
But it's all right, it's okay
|
Now your self-respect is the only
|
price you'll pay
|
It's okay, that's all right
|
|
You're the queen of the Barbie nation
|
Queen of the Barbie nation
|
Queen of the Barbie nation tonight
|
Tonight yeah
|
|
Romance books, magazines
|
T.V. shows and the movie screens
|
They lie lie lie dirty lies empty dreams
|
It's a shame you bowed down
|
To the deity of Helen Gurley Brown
|
So obscene
|
|
It's all right, it's okay
|
Just don't forget you're always on display
|
It's okay, that's alright
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
You're sexy and driven and doomed to succeed
|
You'll get what you want but it's nothing you need
|
And echoed in the heartache you conceal
|
Is something good, something real
|
|
She was told that in the end
|
Every Barbie gets her Ken
|
Lie lie lie no such guy just pretend
|
We pull the strings, wind the doll
|
We create the myth that she can have it all
|
It's a sin
|
|
But it's all right, it's okay
|
Though your dignity is all that's left to trade
|
It's okay, that's all right
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
