Kat Robichaud and The Darling Misfits - The Elephant Song lyrics

On the day of the elephant, I looked up to the sky And wondered why I could not see the sunrise At the risk of intelligence, I opened up my eyes And saw with clarity the consequences And it ripped a gaping hole in my soul And it snuffed out all the dreams when I was young And little girls are told someday their prince will come That they're entitled to a life that's better than their mom's But wind up with a man just like their dad In the wake of the aftermath Severed from the womb I cry, a screaming infant blinking in the light God I wish I could take it back Like a tacky horror film Back to the moment when I was alive It's seven sorry years I'm never getting back So far along and yet so far off track I hate the genius after the fact It's never better in the second act Oh, Oh Is there anybody listening or am I truly talking to myself? So typical Oh, Oh Isn't everybody wishing they could be somebody better than themselves? Well, if ignorance is bliss, turn your head and make a wish and sing along Laaaaa Now here I am, Chained by your applause I'll never get, I'll never get Never enough of And here we are, what a sorry lot Wanting more than what we've got Never living in the present Always off Oh, Oh Is there anybody listening or am I truly talking to myself? So typical Oh, Oh Isn't everybody wishing they could be somebody better than themselves? Well, if ignorance is bliss, turn your head and make a wish and sing along
