Ani Difranco - Pixie Lyrics
Im a pixieIm a paper dollIm a cartoonIm a chipper cheerful free for allAnd I light up a roomIm the color me happy girlMiss live and let liveAnd when theyre out for bloodI always giveThe man behind the counter looks like hes gotA hald a dozen places hed rather beAnd furthermore it looks like hes preparedTo take it all out on meBuddy, I dont really care what your problem isJust dont make it mineCome on kids, lets all hold handsAnd pretend were having a good timeMaybe you dont like your jobMaybe you didnt get enough sleepWell, nobody likes their jobNobody got enough sleepMaybe you just hadThe worst day of your lifeBut, you know, theres no escapeAnd theres no excuseSo just suck up and be niceAll the privilaged white kids on tvPlaying at deathBanishing their cold cutsWith their ghostly makeupAnd their heroin breathAnd all the little fishes are flapping wildlyOn their hooksWhile all the top critics find great meaningIn the telephone bookThe little emperor he has no clothesSo he cant come out to playAnd besides which life is sufferingAnd he likes it that wayAnd the little guy is not so friendlyBut you know life has been cruelSo wipe that smile off your face, babyAnd try to be coolMaybe you dont like your jobMaybe you didnt get enough sleepWell, nobody likes their jobAnd nobody got enough sleepMaybe you just hadThe worst day of your lifeBut, you know, theres no escapeTheres no excuseSo just suck up and be niceYeah, I would like to perfect the artOf being studiously aloofLike life is just a boring choreAnd I am living proofI could join forces with an armyOr ornery hipstersBut then I guess Id be out of a jobSo I guess thats out of the pictureCuz I am a pixieI am a paper dollIm a cartoonIm a chipper cheerful free for allAnd I light up a roomIm the color me happy girlMiss live and let liveAnd when theyre out for bloodI always give
