The Elephant Song Songtext
von Kat Robichaud and The Darling Misfits
The Elephant Song Songtext
On the day of the elephant,
I looked up to the sky
And wondered why I could not see the sunrise
At the risk of intelligence,
I opened up my eyes
And saw with clarity the consequences
And it ripped a gaping hole in my soul
And it snuffed out all the dreams when I was young
And little girls are taught someday their prince will come
That they′re entitled to a life that's better than their mom′s
But wind up with a man just like their dad
In the wake of the aftermath
Severed from the womb
I cry, a screaming infant blinking in the light
God I wish I could take it back
Like a tacky horror film
Back to the moment when I was alive
It's seven sorry years I'm never getting back
So far along and yet so far off track
I hate the genius after the fact
It′s never better in the second act
Oh, Oh
Is there anybody listening or am I truly talking to myself?
So typical
Oh, Oh
Isn′t everybody wishing they could be somebody better than themselves?
Well,
If ignorance is bliss,
Turn your head and make a wish and sing along
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la long
Louder!
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la long
You sound lovely
Now here I am,
Chained by your applause
I'll never get, I′ll never get
Never enough of
And here we are,
What a sorry lot
Wanting more than what we've got
Never living in the present
Always off
Oh, Oh
Is there anybody listening or am I truly talking to myself?
So typical
Oh, Oh
Isn′t everybody wishing they could be somebody better than themselves?
Well,
If ignorance is bliss,
Turn your head and make a wish and sing along
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la long
No, no, no, you have to put your back into it!
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la long
Knees up, head high, come on now!
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la long
You fucker!
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la long
Oh no!
Oh no no no no!
No, we can't use any of this.
It′s all wrong!
Go home!
Go home!
Nobody likes you here!
Go the fuck home!
