The Lyrics

When "incorrect presents" crosses paths with "second-hand embarrassment"...
Gave you a basketball when you don't want to play
A decal for a car when you prefer the train
This happens ev'ry round of Christmas and birthdays
And even random "thought of you"'s that showed no brains
That smile on your face, it's plain to see (oh-oh-oh), oh, it's super false now
Forced to be complacent with the scene (oh-oh-oh)

Man, it's clear they didn't know you at all (hey, no, no)
So clear they didn't know you at all (hey, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ho-oh-oh)
It isn't right, I'm so appalled
That they just didn't know you at all (hey)

It feels rude to decline when they're right in your face
Can't tell 'em that they suck at knowin' your gift tastes
But you can't toss it out because they will notice
And that just makes sure the next gift is a replacement
Want to blame it on senility (oh-oh-oh), oh, they're thirty-four now (so now)
So they're just as dense as one can be

Man, it's clear they didn't know you at all (hey, no, no)
Real clear they didn't know you at all (hey, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ho-oh-oh)
Only one like this, I'm appalled
That they just didn't know you at all (hey), it's clear they didn't know you (oh-oh)

Paper gets torn away (oh-oh), awful gift on display (oh-oh)
Hide the look upon your face (oh-oh)
That shows you wanna take (know you're hurt) (oh-oh) somethin' sharp and aflame (outta nowhere) (oh-oh)
To the gift or them, don't matter either way
Kinda not the best time for that, please, it's best to calm down
My gift is to be your rage proxy

Because they didn't know you (whoo!) at all (hey, no, no)
So clear they didn't know you at all (hey, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (no, no, no), ho-oh-oh)
Hurts ev'ry time, I'm so appalled
That they just didn't know you at all (hey, no, no)
It's clear they didn't know you at all (oh-oh-oh) (hey (clear the right knowledge ain't), no, no)
Real clear they didn't know you at all (hey (anywhere in their brain), oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ho-oh-oh)
What's their goal? I'm just so appalled (oh-oh-oh)
That they just didn't know you at all, doesn't (hey) seem that's gonna change

Drives me mad that their ways (hey) is for only you, mate (hey)
There's no mix-up here to blame (oh-oh-oh)
So you can't just exchange (hey) for the right one, it's pain (hey)
Save your anger, let me ramble in your place

Wasn't in my plans to have my first December parody to involve the gifting of presents, but I'm happy that it worked out that way.
