lyrics
I got a proposition, Bag Man hear me out,
These ain’t livin’ conditions, I’m thinkin’ bout movin’ south
Workin’ Christmas, gettin’ pennies on the pound
Can I get a witness? But they ain’t comin’ to town
Seein’ all these reindeer gettin’ preferential treatment,
We gotta raincheck the cheer every single holiday season
Try to turn up the heat, but they shoot me down,
Need a square meal to eat but ain’t enough to go ‘round
We need a union for the elves,
A piece of mind for everyone else,
We need some bennies, we need a break,
I don’t know how much we can take,
We need a union for the toymaker’s sake
Breathin' all this coal will give a man blackened lungs,
In the Northern Pole we got no regulation,
Jesus Christ wouldn’t want it like this,
Well we tried bein’ nice, but that don’t make your list
So we need a
Union for the elves,
A piece of mind for everyone else,
We need some bennies, we need a break,
I don’t know how much we can take
We need a union for the toymaker’s sake
No jubilation without representation
No Christmas lights without workers' rights
No yuletide and gay if we don't get paid
And if the budget's tight, there won't be no holy night
And if the budget's tight we just might start a riot
Throw down and fight on Christmas night
Revolution for the elves
A piece of the pie for myself
Fuck your bennies, fuck your breaks
We took all that we're gonna take
Revolution for the toymaker's sake
These ain’t livin’ conditions, I’m thinkin’ bout movin’ south
Workin’ Christmas, gettin’ pennies on the pound
Can I get a witness? But they ain’t comin’ to town
Seein’ all these reindeer gettin’ preferential treatment,
We gotta raincheck the cheer every single holiday season
Try to turn up the heat, but they shoot me down,
Need a square meal to eat but ain’t enough to go ‘round
We need a union for the elves,
A piece of mind for everyone else,
We need some bennies, we need a break,
I don’t know how much we can take,
We need a union for the toymaker’s sake
Breathin' all this coal will give a man blackened lungs,
In the Northern Pole we got no regulation,
Jesus Christ wouldn’t want it like this,
Well we tried bein’ nice, but that don’t make your list
So we need a
Union for the elves,
A piece of mind for everyone else,
We need some bennies, we need a break,
I don’t know how much we can take
We need a union for the toymaker’s sake
No jubilation without representation
No Christmas lights without workers' rights
No yuletide and gay if we don't get paid
And if the budget's tight, there won't be no holy night
And if the budget's tight we just might start a riot
Throw down and fight on Christmas night
Revolution for the elves
A piece of the pie for myself
Fuck your bennies, fuck your breaks
We took all that we're gonna take
Revolution for the toymaker's sake
