Modern Barbie - Live!

Hey all! Here's part of a live performance I gave a few nights ago. This is an original song - you can see the home recording here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvLBfk5lC2A

Those of you who are already familiar with the song may notice that the bridge is missing. That is the result of a spur of the moment decision to shorten the song since we were running a little over our time limit and I had to keep it short and sweet.

Hope you enjoy!

Modern Barbie

Hey Barbie, you bore me
I think it's time we had a chat together
Now you're pretty but so empty
Why are you afraid of ever being clever?

Now that boy Ken, I know him
I think that you can do much better for yourself
He's funny, and he's got money
But still you look so lonely on your shelf

I see that you've fallen in love with Cosmopolitan
And you're orbiting your brainless company
Can I help you see you're more than just that deadly phobia of fat
'Cause I know that you'd feel better if you tried

Barbie could you meet me
in the real world
Where girls don't look the same
And ambitions take them higher than your artificial fame
Look out your plastic window
See what we need
A modern Barbie

Now this plastic it's just a casket
For all the latent possibilities in you
Before they sell you, I wanna tell you
You don't have to be a patriarchal tool

Now Barbie there's nothing wrong with wearing pink
It's just sometimes I wish you'd think
Instead of posing for the magazines
Can I help you see you're more than just that deadly phobia of fat
'Cause I know that you'd feel better if you tried

Luv this... when are you gonna come out from the shadows, girl? Sounds great for a live performance. My invitation must have gotten lost in the mail. I dunno 'bout you, but the rest of us are ready for you to go on tour... can't skip Hollywood ya know.

I absolutely love this song, but I can't quite pick out what the chords are... does anyone know where I might find the song with guitar chords? :)

I hope you will doing concerts in 2010. To beef up your vocal cords. It's an important thing. (sorry, it's 4,30 am for me... and I don't know this verb '' beef up'' ... I hope that you understand me)

???? what the hell are you talking about? Im not starting anything here, I just thought to say you were right, I didnt say you said blame the world. It was my word mine. (geez I wasnt even trying to be a smart ass) ok old thread sorry.

[Tommigril]

Bprizze:

Huh, I didn't say blame the world, but WTH this thread is 6 months old and so lets just leave it at that -- an old thread, nothing clear about your reply here at all!.

[bprizze]

haha sorry, just to clear this lol this is like 6 months old thread but what the hey. I didnt say you are wrong about other factors teaching kids, I guess if the parents did all they could to do the right thing and still end up the way they are. then blame the world :) cheers
