Song Title: Barbie

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Maybe this make up don’t make up the parts I don’t want you to see
So I tried to make up a story of who I want to be
Identities built by just fragments and plastic and wrapped up in pink
Then sealed with a logo of female perfection of who I should be

Chorus:
Barbie don’t play in a playhouse
Barbie works two jobs to eat
Barbie is single with two kids
She gives all she can for their needs
She won’t go away when the going gets tough
She’s still flesh and bones when the world gets rough
Her body decays but this legacy lives
She’s know for what she gives

Verse 2:
Plastic don’t just contaminate oceans
But pollutes all these vulnerable souls
So stop creating this demotion
When the mirror can’t reflect the whole

Bridge:
Mass produced and generalized
When will we stop with compromise?
So clear off your shelf
Clear your mind for yourself
True beauty is never advertised

Last Chorus:
Barbie don’t play in a playhouse
Barbie works two jobs to eat
Barbie is single with two kids
She gives all she can for their needs
She won’t go away when the going gets tough
She’s still flesh and bones when the world gets rough
Her body decays but this legacy lives
So what does this plastic give?
