You're living out the married life You're barbie You have achieved marriage And now everybody needs to make way for you dear You still have that after marriage glow That shine Or maybe its the tan from your honeymoon And you're wearing beautiful diamond earrings, Recycled from your wedding You are still the star of the show You are still the only one in the room You have achieved marriage... Applaud, everybodyΒ Β Your husband? Oh he's irrelevant Just a pixel in the corner of your beautiful life Barbie... Now you will need to learn the ways of the world You can still enjoy your day Or your week Or your month Whatever it is Cause you know it will soon end And so you parade but really just pretend. Your mind is smarter than you She knows this won't last And one day you're going to sit on the couch in your trailer park And yell at the kids And burn in the sun And look at the skin marks, the bruises Your husband left you when he ***** you last night And you will sit in the sun And wait for him And that picket fence you once dreamed of Is now a fiction novel in your mind It doesn't exist, it never has, it never will Not now, not here, in your house And nowhere else, You know this
But parade now little girl While you still can Find yourself a rich man Because you know when you are old You will no longer have a purpose And nobody will want you, so they say You will know too much about the world And you wouldn't want to satisfy the rich men like you did before Because you would know all too well What it feels like to be his wife Back home with the kids Back to the trailer Playing same sad song that she danced to on her wedding night You know what its going to feel like when your skin starts falling off your bones like the draped curtains you once wanted You know that day will come dear But at least you have achieved marriage Applaud, everybody... Please...
