Ken by The Negro Problem Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My name's Ken
And I like men
But the people at Mattel
The home that I call hell
Are somewhat bothered by my queer proclivities
It's safe to say that they are really pissed at me
[Verse 2]
They always stick me
With Barbie
But I want them to know
I'd prefer G.I. Joe
But any able-bodied mandoll will surely do
Just someone to love since I am not set up to screw
[Verse 3]
Black Barbie
You know she used to talk to me
But now she'd rather be
In plastic therapy
Sitting on a plastic couch speaking freely
The only problem is she has no history
[Verse 4]
Someday soon
I'll be in your child's room
And I'll be forced to kiss
Barbie's plastic tits
And I will hate myself but what's more I'll hate you
For not allowing me to love as I wish to
[Verse 5]
See I'm your corporate toy
Cursed to bring you joy
And through divorce or death
I'll just hold my breath
And play along, your daughter's not to blame at all
For bringing these burdens to bear upon a doll
My name's Ken
And I like men
But the people at Mattel
The home that I call hell
Are somewhat bothered by my queer proclivities
It's safe to say that they are really pissed at me
[Verse 2]
They always stick me
With Barbie
But I want them to know
I'd prefer G.I. Joe
But any able-bodied mandoll will surely do
Just someone to love since I am not set up to screw
[Verse 3]
Black Barbie
You know she used to talk to me
But now she'd rather be
In plastic therapy
Sitting on a plastic couch speaking freely
The only problem is she has no history
[Verse 4]
Someday soon
I'll be in your child's room
And I'll be forced to kiss
Barbie's plastic tits
And I will hate myself but what's more I'll hate you
For not allowing me to love as I wish to
[Verse 5]
See I'm your corporate toy
Cursed to bring you joy
And through divorce or death
I'll just hold my breath
And play along, your daughter's not to blame at all
For bringing these burdens to bear upon a doll
