lyrics

Battle Barbie

Battle Barbie don’t need no Ken.
She’s got an Ares Predator in her hand.
She’s got legs for days. She’s got a kill in her sights.
Battle Barbie, you’re the love of my life.

She’s a bullet to the brain
and a doomsday switch.
She’s an assault rifle angel
and a critical glitch.
She’s an asphalt assassin
stalking through the dark—
a fully automatic
shot to the heart.

She’s a roll of the dice
in a sleazy club.
She’s another hit of cram
when you’ve had too much.
She’s the bottoms-up.
She’s the lock and load.
She’s got a head full of novacoke
and rock and roll.

Battle Barbie don’t need no Ken!
She’s got an Ares Predator in her hand!
She’s got legs for days! She’s got a kill in her sights!
Battle Barbie, you’re the love of my life!

[ wiz guitar solo ]

She’s a means to an end
and the end of means.
She’s a nuclear blast
in skinny jeans.
And here I am—
just a prop in her world—
an untouchable boy
meets an unreachable girl!

Battle Barbie don’t need no Ken!
She’s got an Ares Predator in her hand!
She’s got legs for days! She’s got a kill in her sights!
Battle Barbie, you’re the love of my life!

My heart is an encrypted stream—
impenetrable, isolated, and mean—
but she decked in and through it all;
she tore down my firewall!

Battle Barbie don’t need no Ken!
She’s got an Ares Predator in her hand!
She’s got legs for days—those cybernetic thighs!
Battle Barbie, you’re the love of my life!

Battle Barbie’s got no use for friends!
She’s putting bodies in the ground all according to plan!
She’s got legs for days and obsidian eyes!
Battle Barbie, you’re the love of my life!
