I AIN'T NO BARBIE DOLL
Perfect plastic people
Leading perfect plastic lives
Who are they really?
Do they have invisible insides?
I can't imagine being them
I know I never could
I never was too malleable
Don't do the things I should
Or is "should" a possibility--
A tangible kind of thing?
It's probably better not to know
It carries quite a sting
But what if you would want me then
Maybe then it'd be worth it
If I could be artificial
Less complex and more complicit
