Verse:
FI'm a man of Greason, and they Csay "'TisAm the season tDmo be jolly"
But it's Gfolly when you Cvolley for C7position
FNever in exGistence has there Cbeen such a resAmistance
To iDmdeas meant to Gfree us
If you could Csee us, then you'd C7listen
FToiling through the Gages, making Ctoys on garnished Amwages
There's no Dmunion
We're only Gthrough when we out Cdo the compeC7tition
Chorus:
FI Gmake Ctoys, but I've got C7aspirations
FMake Gsome Cnoise
Use your iC7magination
FGirls Gand Cboys, before you C7wish for what you Dmwish for
There's a Glist for who's been
DmNaughty or Cnice, but conFsider the Gprice to an Celf
Verse:
A Ffull indentured Gservitude can reCflect on one's Amattitude
But that Dmsilly red hat Gjust makes the Cfat man look outC7rageous
AbFsurd though it may Gseem, you know, I've Cheard there's even been ilAmlegal doping
DmAnd though we're Gcoping, I just Chope it's not conC7tagious
You Ftry to start a Gmovement, and you Cthink you see imAmprovement
But when Dmthrown into the Gmoment, we just Cdon't seem so couC7rageous
Chorus:
FI Gmake Ctoys, but I've got C7aspirations
FMake Gsome Cnoise
Use your iC7magination
FGirls Gand Cboys, before you C7wish for what you Dmwish for
There's a Glist for who's been
DmNaughty or Cnice, but conFsider the Gprice to an Celf
Bridge:
CYou look at yourG/Bself
You're an elf
And the Gmshelf is just filled with Amdisappointing mFemories
CTrends come and G/Bgo, and your friends wanna kGmnow
why you aren't just Amhappy making cFrappy little Emgizmos
Every Dmkid knows they'll just tGhrow this stuff aCway
Verse:
We're Fused to repeGtition, so we Cdrew up a peAmtition
We, the Dmundersigned, feel Gundermined
Let's Credefine C7"employment"
We Fknow that we've got Gleverage, so we'll Chand the fat man a Ambeverage
And sit Dmback while we atGtack the utter Clack of our enC7joyment
It Fmay be tough to Gswallow, but our Cthreats are far from Amhollow
He may Dmthunder, but if he Gblunders, he may Cwonder where the C7toys went
Chorus:
FI Gmake Ctoys, but I've got C7aspirations
FMake Gsome Cnoise
Use your iC7magination
FGirls Gand Cboys, before you C7wish for what you Dmwish for
There's a Glist for who's been
DmNaughty or Cnice, but conFsider the Gprice
DmNaughty or Cnice, but conFsider the Gprice
DmNaughty or Cnice, but conFsider the Gprice to an elf C
