lyrics

Santa, I feel it’s not funny
That the grownups in charge of us all
Are dumb as lobotomized monkeys
And frankly, I’m somewhat appalled

There’s a kid in a cage down in Texas
There’s a drone flying over our heads
There’s an ailment that’s gross and infectious
There’s a President wishing us dead

There’s no god and no heaven no truths for a girl to believe
I’m only seven and feeling depressed and deceived….

Virginia I’m sorry to say it
Virginia, to ruin your day
There’s no way to delay it
That trouble that comes everyday

You’ve already guessed it’s a shitshow
You’re smart and your eyes are too keen
And you’ve come to me looking for answers
To the madness and folly you’ve seen

It’s mad and it’s cruel, and it’s managed by fools, yes, Virginia
We try to pretend it’s for justified ends, yes Virginia
There’s no hope I can give, in this world where we live, no, Virginia
No easy prescription, no nice soothing fiction, Virginia

Santa, I’m lately suspecting
That the road will be rocky and long
And the riddle bizarre and perplexing
And the right thing turn out to be wrong

You do what you can do, you fight your way through
This madness called Life, yes Virginia
There is love in low places, you can find kindly faces,
Be strong and tenacious, Virginia

There’s friends and there’s music, there’s laughter and wine
For sarcasm, mockery, plenty of time
At the end, go out laughing the day that you die
Tell ‘em a joke and then spit in their eye

You do what you can do, you fight your way through
This madness called Life, yes Virginia
It’s evil and holy and crowded and lonely
It’s weird and it’s lovely, Virginia
I can intuit that you’ll muddle through it
Be strong and tenacious, Virginia
Oh, and before we pause
There is no Santa Claus
But you already knew that Virginia

BEEFUS Madison, Wisconsin

Called "Madison's rocking merry pranksters" by the Madison Isthmus, BEEFUS has been bringing their bizarro sounds and stage antics to stages in Madison, WI and the Midwest since 2007. BEEFUS are more anti-rock than rock, with smatterings of mutated jazz, peculiar percussion, and anthems to meat, body horror, and eldritch squid. ... more
