exploring the multiverses sound by sound and word by word
Story behind the song
story behind the song: holiday season hype, from thanksgiving, halloween and christmas (swap thanksgiving and halloween for those nations that want to have a turkey day after candy day) the myriad charities asking for help, the myriad leaders looking pretty on the various sized viewing screens of today, and nothing really being changed except the size of their bank accounts. originally christmas is for was holidays are for, but i messed up while recording and liked that version better. So its now a seasonal song, though elves work year round in case you didn't know ...
Lyrics
hearing all the sale sighs
is that what christmas is for?
reading the for sale times
and all the world is still at war
give thanks to the little elf
the one doing the real chores
not those ones doing photo ops
or closing factory doors
give thanks to the little elves
the ones who really care
when it all comes down to it
they're the only ones still here
world too weary, has all the tell tale signs
our hearts too worn out to bleed
needing, not wanting, a little time
time to heal in peace
give thanks to the little elf
the one doing the real chores
not those ones doing photo ops
or closing factory doors
give thanks to the little elves
the ones who really care
when it all comes down to it
they're the only ones still here
give thanks to the little elf
give thanks to the little elves
give thanks ...
