Barbie’s online to Ken again
My Daddy just gawps at TV
Brother fights virtual wars in his head
No one has time for me
They pacify me with candy and toys
But really they bring no joy
All I ever wanted was a friend
Barbie’s online to Ken again
I’m out of here as soon as I’m grown
This maybe a house but it ain’t no home
It may have a table, it may have a chair
Whilst Dad slobs out , Mom cybers upstairs
And it ain’t fair on a boy of ten
Barbie’s online to Ken again
The windows are open but there ain’t no air
I wonder if they even notice or care
House is full of stagnant souls
Drowning in a cesspool of fantasy roles
Reality committed suicide
Took with him the virgin bride
She never did get her fill of men
Barbie’s online to Ken again
When I grow up I’ll live in a place
Where people talk to each other face to face
I’ll play with my kids in my own backyard
There’ll be no falsehoods or charade
I’ll teach them how to use a paper and pen
Barbie’s online to Ken again
There’s hamburger joint down our street
But we’ve never been there as a family
We survive on a diet of Coke and fries
The occasional pizza on the side
We don’t eat nothing that falls from a tree
Still it stops the gap where our feelings should be
The stove ain’t been lit since I don’t know when
Barbie’s online to Ken again
When I come of age, I’ll be a man
I’m gonna find me a piece of land
Water and nurture Gods good seed
Won’t eat nothing processed in a factory
Leave these morons in their own stench
