Lament for a Toy Factory

Once upon a time

On the assembly line

Ran my brilliant designs

Made of plastic

Then the factory called me

Said, "we are appalled, we feel

Your new designs are too drastic."

What? Babies with buzz saws?

These bankers in charge

They lacked vision and imagination

Challenge me, will you?

Well, I'll show you all!

I'll see to it this wretched company falls

I'm not just some nobody

Here doing time

You fat bastards need me

And my brilliant mind!

And so

They fired me

And, all through the night

As I wept

I packed my explosives

And dollies with knives

And gasoline filled super-soakers

And deep within my mind

My revenge grew ever corrosive

I invaded the building

With my army of toys

As a fire rang out

With a deafening noise

I screamed

"I am the nightmare that crushes your dreams

I'm the greatest creator this world's ever seen!"

Cackle as the fire crackles

As the toys attack 'em

'Till they all fall down.

Climbing to the top

I hear a helicopter

Talking to me as the cops surround

Every corner of the factory

Gasoline! It's either them or me

It's them or me!

To infinity!

To insanity!

All through the night

As I laughed, I set off my explosives

But alas, I was detained

And they labeled me criminally insane
