Elf's Lament (Live)
I'm a man of reason, and they say ''Tis the season to be jolly' But it's folly when you volley for position
Never in existence has there been such a resistance To ideas meant to free us If you could see us, then you'd listen
Toiling through the ages, making toys on garnished wages There's no union We're only through when we outdo the competition
I make toys, but I've got aspirations Make some noise Use your imagination Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for There's a list for who's been Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf
A full indentured servitude can reflect on one's attitude But that silly red hat just makes the fat man look outrageous
Absurd though it may seem, you know, I've heard there's even been illegal doping And though we're coping, I just hope it's not contagious
You try to start a movement, and you think you see improvement But when thrown into the moment, we just don't seem so courageous
I make toys, but I've got aspirations Make some noise Use your imagination Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for There's a list for who's been Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf
You look at yourself You're an elf And the shelf is just filled with disappointing memories Trends come and go, and your friends wanna know why you aren't just happy making crappy little gizmos Every kid knows they'll just throw this stuff away
We're used to repetition, so we drew up a petition We, the undersigned, feel undermined Let's redefine 'employment'
We know that we've got leverage, so we'll hand the fat man a beverage And sit back while we attack the utter lack of our enjoyment
It may be tough to swallow, but our threats are far from hollow He may thunder, but if he blunders, he may wonder where the toys went
I make toys, but I've got aspirations Make some noise Use your imagination Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for There's a list for who's been Naughty or nice, but consider the price Naughty or nice, but consider the price Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf
