| i’m a pixie
|
| i’m a paper doll
|
| i’m a cartoon
|
| i’m a chipper cheerful free for all
|
| and i light up a room
|
| i’m the color me happy girl
|
| miss live and let live
|
| and when they’re out for blood
|
| i always give
|
| the man behind the counter looks like he’s got
|
| a hald a dozen places he’d rather be and furthermore it looks like he’s prepared
|
| to take it all out on me buddy, i don’t really care what your problem is just don’t make it mine
|
| come on kids, let’s all hold hands
|
| and pretend we’re having a good time
|
| maybe you don’t like your job
|
| maybe you didn’t get enough sleep
|
| well, nobody likes their job
|
| nobody got enough sleep
|
| maybe you just had
|
| the worst day of your life
|
| but, you know, there’s no escape
|
| and there’s no excuse
|
| so just suck up and be nice
|
| all the privilaged white kids on tv playing at death
|
| banishing their cold cuts
|
| with their ghostly makeup
|
| and their heroin breath
|
| and all the little fishes are flapping wildly
|
| on their hooks
|
| while all the top critics find great meaning
|
| in the telephone book
|
| the little emperor he has no clothes
|
| so he can’t come out to play
|
| and besides which life is suffering
|
| and he likes it that way
|
| and the little guy is not so friendly
|
| but you know life has been cruel
|
| so wipe that smile off your face, baby
|
| and try to be cool
|
| maybe you don’t like your job
|
| maybe you didn’t get enough sleep
|
| well, nobody likes their job
|
| and nobody got enough sleep
|
| maybe you just had
|
| the worst day of your life
|
| but, you know, there’s no escape
|
| there’s no excuse
|
| so just suck up and be nice
|
| yeah, i would like to perfect the art
|
| of being studiously aloof
|
| like life is just a boring chore
|
| and i am living proof
|
| i could join forces with an army
|
| or ornery hipsters
|
| but then i guess i’d be out of a job
|
| so i guess that’s out of the picture
|
| cuz i am a pixie
|
| i am a paper doll
|
| i’m a cartoon
|
| i’m a chipper cheerful free for all
|
| and i light up a room
|
| i’m the color me happy girl
|
