The Wreck Of The Barbie Ferrari Lyrics

    Saturday night he comes home stinking
    Sunday morning she wakes up thinking and thinking and thinking and thinking
    Does she need to get the kids dressed to go to church
    He's pulled a shotgun out of the lurch
    He heads for the tv room starts to search
    His problems swollen like a river and his reality's shrinking
    He finds them huddled by the toy box and splatters 'em all
    The ken and the midge and the skipper doll
    They look like a family but they're really not at all

    Well he's sad but he ain't sorry
    It ain't the end of the world
    It's just the wreck of the barbie ferrari

    He wonders if he ever said i do
    To that little blonde plastic voodoo
    And his mind's gone fishin'
    Well it started just as plain as the nose on your face
    Now it's in a thousand peices all over the place
    He thought she was driving but it's twisted beyond recognition
    All the diapers and the tutus and the basketballs
    She was givin' them a lift to the promised mall
    But somewhere by the tv that v-12 stalled
    As he loaded the chamber her eyes got starry
    It ain't the end of the world
    It's just wreck of the barbie ferrari
    When they get home from church won't they be sorry
    He's cornered 'em all on his urban safari

    It aint the end of the world...

    He's played with cars and guns since he could crawl
    Now he wishes he'd never met that doll with her face gone
    There wasnt nothing he ever thought about
    He couldn't drive through or shoot his way out
    As he surveys the family room littered with dolls
    He can't find one leg to stand on
    He aims the gun at his head now he's starting to cry
    Looking for the courage to let it fly
    Can't live without his family now that something has died
    He's not sure who's hurt not sure who's sorry

    It ain't the end of the world...
