Lyrics
Like a flip flop feminists relationship with Barbie Hardly the unsung perfectionist, perhaps white supremacist Or Is this over-a***ysis of plastic? A fanatic franticly forge five thousand words On the relevance and development of marketing to girls And the harshness of the world, against all odds she worked 130 jobs But still thrilled mostly by the presence of heartthrobs Unaffected by patriarchy or recessions, but soon it must be questioned Does the doll face only rеpresent what first is projectеd Grammar and spellcheck, half these points make no sense The deadlines days away and their conclusions a conflicted mess So how did molded plastic become so problematic Where negi readings are dramatic but posis over-romantic And maybe Barbie would rather be a gnarly dirty harpy Tattoos drawn on with sharpie, kissing girls at a party A figure once seen as pristine while preserved in a box Most Barbies end up naked and limbless with their hair shaved off Perhaps it should be mentioned that Barbie would be sectioned Having weigh-ins everyday for what others call perfection You can say she's just a doll so what does their size really mean 60s slumber party still read books saying don't eat Perhaps an ever-changing icon reflecting female progress Perhaps a shallow feminism focused on individual success And now we are over the word count Got to edit down what's written with no conclusion found out Tangled and confused and now scared of being misread Wishing I had done GI Joe male violence and conscription instead Exhausting approaches Barbie's subtext seems absent A one dimensional character with endless multifacets Time is nearly up they must be pragmatic Conclusion: the most human thing about Barbie is the fact she is problematic After quick and heavy editing Self-flagellation for a cop-out ending In time, I hand their essay in I forgot my referencing I have failed my degree $27,000 down the drain Ask yourself, "Was it worth it? What did you learn about Barbie?"
