Barbie Nation

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She was told when she was young, ah, that blondes always have more fun Lie, lie, lie, dirty lie, da-da-dumb Perfect hair: perfect waste, with a perfect prom queen smile upon her face for everyone But it's alright, it's okay Now your self-respect is the only price you'll pay It's okay, that's alright [Chorus] 'Cause you're the queen of the Barbie nation Queen of the Barbie nation Queen of the Barbie nation tonight, tonight, yeah [Verse 2] 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 the queen of the Barbie nation Queen of the Barbie nation Queen of the Barbie nation tonight [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] 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] You're the queen of the Barbie nation Queen of the Barbie nation Queen of the Barbie nation tonight Tonight, tonight Oh, queen of the Barbie nation Queen of the Barbie nation Queen of the Barbie nation Queen of the Barbie nation
