The Toymaker

from The Human Conditional by Bill White

/

lyrics

Hes the toymaker Maker of the toys
He can make a boy into a girls and a girl into a boy
Hes the toymaker Maker of the toys

He gave me a pair of arms
I thanked him very well
When he took my arms away
I cursed him back to hell
Hes the toymaker Maker of the toys

When he was passing out brains, I though he said trains\so I asked for an empty boxcar
When he gave me the breath of life it cut like a knife and left me with these pox scars

Hes the toymaker and he made us all the same
So if your brother falls you have just yourself to blame
Hes the toymaker Maker of the toys

He sliced away my scalp them filled me up with sand
When the sand runs out he’ll drop me from his hand
Hes the toymaker Maker of the toys

You thought he was jim dandy when he handed out the candy
And you asked for a dish and a spoon
When you wish upon a star it doesn’t matter who you are
Your wishes they aint never coming true
Hes the toymaker Maker of the toys
He can turn boys into girls and girls into boys
Hes the toymaker Maker of the toys

He gave me a pair of arms
I thanked him very well
When he took my arms away
I cursed him back to hell
Hes the toymaker Maker of the toys

When he was passing out brains, I though he said trains\so I asked for an empty boxcar
When he gave me the breath of life it cut like a knife and left me with these pox scars

Hes the toymaker and he made us all the same
So if your brother falls you have just yourself to blame
Hes the toymaker Maker of the toys

He cut me to the quick them filled me up with sand
When the sand runs out he’ll drop me from his hand
Hes the toymaker Maker of the toys

You thought he was jim dandy when he was passing out the candy
And you asked for a dish and a spoon
When you wish upon a star it doesn’t matter who you are
Your wishes they aint never coming true
Hes the toymaker Maker of the toys

He turns your plow into a sword then back into a plow
If you didn’t see it it then you had better listen now
Hes the toymaker Maker of the toys
