Generate meaning
1
Saturday night he comes home stinking
2
sunday morning she wakes up thinking and thinking and thinking and thinking
3
does she need to get the kids dressed to go to church
4
he's pulled a shotgun out of the lurch
5
he heads for the TV room starts to search
6
his problems swollen like a river and his reality's shrinking
7
he finds them huddled by the toy box and splatters 'em all
8
the ken and the midge and the skipper doll
9
they look like a family but they're really not at all
10
well he's sad but he ain't sorry
11
it ain't the end of the world
12
it's just the wreck of the barbie ferrari
13
he wonders if he ever said I do
14
to that little blonde plastic voodoo
15
and his mind's gone fishin'
16
well it started just as plain as the nose on your face
17
now it's in a thousand peices all over the place
18
he thought she was driving but it's twisted beyond recognition
19
all the diapers and the tutus and the basketballs
20
she was givin' them a lift to the promised mall
21
but somewhere by the TV that V-12 stalled
22
as he loaded the chamber her eyes got starry
23
it ain't the end of the world
24
it's just wreck of the barbie ferrari
25
when they get home from church won't they be sorry
26
he's cornered 'em all on his urban safari
27
It aint the end of the world...
28
He's played with cars and guns since he could crawl
29
now he wishes he'd never met that doll with her face gone
30
there wasnt nothing he ever thought about
31
he couldn't drive through or shoot his way out
32
as he surveys the family room littered with dolls
33
he can't find one leg to stand on
34
he aims the gun at his head now he's starting to cry
35
looking for the courage to let it fly
36
can't live without his family now that something has died
37
he's not sure who's hurt not sure who's sorry
38
It ain't the end of the world...
