[00:11.57] I'm a man of reason and they say 'tis the season
[00:16.40] To be jolly, but it's folly when you volley for position
[00:22.72] Never in existence has there been such a resistance
[00:27.59] To ideas meant to free us, if you could see us, then you'd listen
[00:34.49] Toiling through the ages making toys on garnished wages
[00:39.27] There's no union, we're only through when we outdo the competition
[00:45.84] I make toys, but I've got aspirations
[00:51.73] Make some noise, use your imagination
[00:57.35] Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for
[01:03.78] There's a list for who's been naughty or nice
[01:06.85] But consider the price to an elf
[01:11.59] A full indentured servitude can reflect on one's attitude
[01:16.88] But that silly red hat just makes the fat man look outrageous
[01:22.44] Absurd though it may seem, you know I've heard there's even been
[01:27.47] Illegal doping, and though we're coping
[01:30.70] I just hope it's not contagious
[01:34.28] You try to start a movement and you think you see improvement
[01:39.49] But when thrown into the moment, we just don't seem so courageous
[01:45.82] I make toys, but I've got aspirations
[01:51.68] Make some noise, use your imagination
[01:57.30] Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for
[02:03.75] There's a list for who's been naughty or nice
[02:06.85] But consider the price to an elf
[02:09.35] You look at yourself, you're an elf, and the shelf
[02:11.87] Is just filled with disappointing memories
[02:16.17] Trends come and go and your friends wanna know
[02:19.15] Why you aren't just happy making crappy little gizmos
[02:23.97] Every kid knows they'll just throw this stuff away
[02:30.08] We're used to repetition, so we drew up a petition
[02:34.89] We the undersigned feel undermined, let's redefine employment
[02:41.53] We know that we've got leverage, so we'll hand the fat man a beverage
[02:46.54] He'll sit back while we attack the utter lack of our enjoyment
[02:52.89] It may be tough to swallow, but our threats are far from hollow
[02:57.87] He may thunder, but if he blunders, he may wonder where the toys went
[03:04.42] I make toys, but I've got aspirations
[03:10.07] Make some noise, use your imagination
[03:15.83] Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for
[03:22.16] There's a list for who's been naughty or nice
[03:25.31] But consider the price
[03:27.08] Naughty or nice, but consider the price
[03:30.03] Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf
[03:34.56]
