Lyrics
A misfit from the day I was born
Never fit in with Santa and his gang
They made it clear they didn't want me around
Never let me play their games, they called me "clown"
Oh, it used to get me down
It used to get me down
It used to get me
Oh, they used to get me down
They used to call me clown
They used to get me down
My name's Rudolph
And I'm a fuckin' reindeer
I'm a fuckin' reindeer with a red, red nose
My name's Rudolph
And I'm a fuckin' reindeer
I'm a fuckin' reindeer with a red, red nose
After many years of abuse
All of a sudden I was of some use:
One night Santa said: "Hey! I can't see
Now that Rudolph can do something for me!"
Oh, I used to feel obliged
I wanted to feel loved
I wanted love
Oh, I used to feel obliged
I wanted to feel loved
I wanted love so
My name's Rudolph
And I'm a fuckin' rebel
I'm a fuckin' rebel with a red, red nose
My name's Rudolph
And I'm a fuckin' rebel
I'm a fuckin' rebel with a red, red nose
Now I finally stand up for myself
No more sucking up to the elves
Guys, you can shove your games up your ass
Don't give a fuck if it's foggy, sort out your own crap
Oh, I stand up for myself
Go out and kick some ass
Go out and kick some
Oh, I stand up for myself
Go out and kick some ass
Go out and kick some ass
Story
This song exposes the "success" story of Rudolph as the toxic narrative it really is:
Someone is bullied because they look different from the rest. Then one day, an authority figure (Santa) - who has so far never felt it necessary to step in and stop the bullying - finds that this odd reindeer's identifying feature can be of use to his plans. Once Rudolph is USEFUL and endorsed by the authority, all his peers "love" him...
How is this a positive story?! Everyone should just be accepted for who they are and not rated because they are "useful"! Our song lets Rudolph speak up for himself and turn his back on the whole Santa franchise!
