Barbie Nation Lyrics
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 TV. 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
