A song about unwanted things.
LYRICS
Displayed Among the bargains
And shameless values
That retail lives for
Ceramic figurines
Stand at attention
Inside the dollar store
Their painted eyes
Follow the manager
Who says defeatedly as she passes by
"These things
They never sell
Yet they still make them
One wonders why"
Some for Mothers
Some for Daughters
Some are nothing more than ornamental fodder
Some for Halloween
Some for Christmas
Some for graduation
Some for Christians
Painted dolls
For every taste
Curiosities for every stage in life
A museum of our every milestone
Here’s first communion
Here’s man and wife
Buy them now
Set them in your bedroom
Let them exist for the moment like you do
When you get angry
Smash them with a hammer
And that should save you hurting others close to you
Some for Mothers
Some for Daughters
Some are nothing more than ornamental fodder
Some for Halloween
Some for Christmas
Some for graduation
Some for Christians
