C  Em  Am  F  Dm

        C                 G

She was told when she was young

          Am              

Ah - that blondes always have more fun

        C         G         F

Lie lie lie dirty lie du du dumb

        C            G

Perfect hair perfect waste

       Am                 C              F

With a perfect prom queen smile upon her face

    G

For everyone

             F           C

But it's all right, it's okay

         G

Now your self-respect is the only

             F C

price you'll pay

     F                Am

It's okay, that's all right

                 F            G      Am

You're the queen of the Barbie nation

      F            G      Am

Queen of the Barbie nation

      F            G      Am       Dm

Queen of the Barbie nation tonight

        G

Tonight yeah

Romance books, magazines

T.V. 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

       Dm       F           Am       G

You're sexy and driven and doomed to succeed

       Dm           F             Am          G

You'll get what you want but it's nothing you need

    C             Em            Am

And echoed in the heartache you conceal

             F               Dm

Is something good, something real

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
