Elves are Evil

Well elves are evil suckers, yeah they just don't give a damn
They always smell just like cardboard, they've all got shaky little hands
Their voices are obnoxious, they'll never wipe their feet
They'll scratch up all your records and pick their tiny little teeth
Elves are evil mothers, they'll kick you when you're down
They're always spitting out their food and stealing from the lost and found
Elves don't care about your feelings, they smoke while pumping gas
They'll call you names when you approach and try to trip you when you pass
Kids all love elves, you know it's true
But they're real pricks, I'm telling you
Honestly their sense of humor is a little homophobic
They make my mom uncomfortable and creep around aerobics class
They still believe in Santa Claus
And they leave a trail of grease everywhere they go
Kids all love elves, you know it's true
But they're real pricks, I'm telling you
They'll always cheat at scrabble using foreign elvish phrases
They'l steal your cash and spend it all on chocolate covered raisins
They're naughty, naughty, naughty
Playing Jingle Bells everywhere they go
Now I am not a hateful man, I don't like to fight
I've been around this great big world and most of us seem to be all right
I believe in brotherhood, I love the universe
But elves are evil sons of bitches and when they drink they only get worse
Oh elves are evil bastards, they'll throw up in your car
They're carriers of strange diseases, they'll try to fight you at the bar
Elves are plotting destruction every hour of the day
And once they get ahold of you they'll never go away

What

What have I done?
Something careless on a summer day
I took a sip of lemonade and everything has changed
The sun's still bright, the tide still rises
Day still topples into night
But now it seems I'm on the run
I'll never end what I've begun
Oh... what have I done?
What have I done?
San Francisco, Halloween Night
The rope leads to the balcony, the girl begins to fly
Haunted places, monkey chases
Cases of mistaken faces
When I saw the ghost again
He spoke to me, I shook his hand
Oh... what have I done?
What have I done?
They're gonna come and get me now
They'll take away my pretty face and tie me to a plow
Is that a flute, is that the breeze?
Is someone sitting in that tree?
My senses fail me one by one
I always knew this day would come
Oh... what have I done?
What have I done?
Winter's never what it seems
I can't tell the difference between my thoughts and dreams
The dropper drop, the pistol pop
The world could stop while shoppers shop
I think this season's trap has sprung
I don't think Spring will ever come
Oh won't somebody tell someone
I never meant to hurt no one
Oh... what have I done?
