It is not upon me
to provide the proof
of hooves and boots
atop the roof
I regret, darling kiddies
you are beset with these lies
“money isn’t everything”, and
“reindeer can fly”
"that song in your head is a sweet angel's cry"
“Jesus is our savior”
say that or go to Hell
taken on the logic, though
it really doesn’t gel
“love conquers everything”
except religion
“all men are equal”, but
“demons multiply”
“fairies pay for teeth”, and
“with God you’ll never die”
"God loves you..."
Americans are smart
They can’t be fooled
“beer makes you happy”
“cigarettes make you cool”
believe me, little ones
in a sense this is good
“you’ll grow up someday”, and
see your childhood
don’t hate me, O adolescence
though I know you must
how else can you be taught
the costs of trust?
Though it’s not upon me
to provide the proof
Santa isn’t coming
"...and that's the truth"
