Elf's Lament (with Michael Buble)

I’m a man of reason, and they say «'Tis the season to be jolly»\nBut it’s folly when you volley for position\nNever in existence has there been such a resistance\nTo ideas meant to free us If you could see us, then you’d listen\nToiling through the ages, making toys on garnished wages\nThere’s no union\nWe’re only through when we outdo the competition\nI make toys, but I’ve got aspirations\nMake some noise\nUse your imagination\nGirls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for\nThere’s a list for who’s been\nNaughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf\nA full indentured servitude can reflect on one’s attitude\nBut that silly red hat just makes the fat man look outrageous\nAbsurd though it may seem, you know, I’ve heard there’s even been illegal doping\nAnd though we’re coping, I just hope it’s not contagious\nYou try to start a movement, and you think you see improvement\nBut when thrown into the moment, we just don’t seem so courageous\nI make toys, but I’ve got aspirations\nMake some noise\nUse your imagination\nGirls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for\nThere’s a list for who’s been\nNaughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf\nYou look at yourself\nYou’re an elf\nAnd the shelf is just filled with disappointing memories\nTrends come and go, and your friends wanna know why you aren’t just happy\nmaking crappy little gizmos\nEvery kid knows they’ll just throw this stuff away\nWe’re used to repetition, so we drew up a petition\nWe, the undersigned, feel undermined\nLet’s redefine «employment»\nWe know that we’ve got leverage, so we’ll hand the fat man a beverage\nAnd sit back while we attack the utter lack of our enjoyment\nIt may be tough to swallow, but our threats are far from hollow\nHe may thunder, but if he blunders, he may wonder where the toys went\nI make toys, but I’ve got aspirations\nMake some noise\nUse your imagination\nGirls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for\nThere’s a list for who’s been\nNaughty or nice, but consider the price\nNaughty or nice, but consider the price\nNaughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf
