Pixie

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 a 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 br> a halfa 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

(chorus)
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 and there's no excuse
so just suck up and be nice
be nice be nice be nice be nice be nice be nice

all the privelaged white kids on tv
playing at death
brandishing their cold cuts
with their ghostly makeup and
their heroin breath
and all the little fishes flapping wildly
on their hooks
and all the top critics find great meaning
in the telephone book

and the little emperor has no clothes
and 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

yeah i'd like to perfect the art of being
studiously unfooled
like life is just a boring chore
and i'm living proof
i could join forces with an army
of ornery hipsters..
but i guess i'd be out of a job
so i guess that's out of the picture
because i'm a pixie, i'm a paperdoll
i'm a cartoon
i'm a chipper cheerful free for all
and i light up a room

i'm a color me happy girl
ms. live and let live
and when they're out for blood
i always give
