Distorted Views ( I'M Bi Not Gay)

I grew up playing with Barbie and Ken
They'd go on dates in Barbie's pink cool van
Her hair flowed down sparkling like golden honey
Sometimes Barbie grew tired of Ken and began 
to make amends with her old flame GI Joe
No Barbie was no hoe she just was well liked
and really it was just me who grew bored 
I didn't know than that maybe skipper 
could also be an option 
I wonder when my views got distorted 
Or maybe they just got clearer 
Reality is so much more than Ken and Barbie
and maybe while GI Joe was marching off to war
Barbie and skipper became lovers 
I know I just stained a clean image 
But I feel like it all starts with a man and a woman
Every girl is bought a Barbie doll
and society says Ken is supposed 
to be part of the package
But what if I want skipper alone
Does that mean that my views are distorted?
