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   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   And naughty or nice but consider the price   Naughty or nice but consider the price to an elf
