"Giver Me a Break"
by Kevin Armerding
Parody of "American Pie"
Based on the novel "The Giver"

Verse one:
A long long time ago
I can still remember how that sameness use to make me smile
And I knew that if I do my part
Instead of following my big old heart
I would make those elders happy for a while
But December made me Quiver
As the ceramony of twelve soon deliver
The Cheif set us up in alignment
So we can receive our assignment
And I thought they sent me up a tree
When I was made Receiver of Memory
It all seems like destiny
The day my world had changed

So, my my this receiver-a guy
I call him giver
He can't liver
But he's one heck of a guy
I spot him home and about to cry
Saying "I wish this were they day that I die"
"I wish this were the day that I die"

Verse two:
Did you write the book of law
And do you feel like your under the cat's paw
Did you ever run crying to pa?
I met Fiona (red hair girl) in the house of old
Can releasing save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to brush real slow
And that beautiful red haired girl I see
I dreampt she took a shower with me
We both Kicked off our shoes
And we made the morning news
Well I know that it is kinda sick
And I have strange feeling for this wonderful chick
And I knew I was lovesick
The day my world had changed

I was singin'
My my this receiver-a guy
I call him giver
He can't liver
But he's one heck of a guy
I spot him home and about to cry
Saying "I wish this were they day that I die"
"I wish this were the day that I die"

Verse three:
For one year we were on our own
And I lay there like a big fat stone
I speak of life in a different tone
I remember war and I remember death
And there is much sarrow in every breath
And there not much childhood to have left
Because I had to learn about pain and war
Not subjects I would like to explore
Life is like a duel
And leaving is against the rules
All this pain for the cost of order
Leaves me in much disorder
I wondered what is outside the border
The day my world had changed

I was singin'
My my this receiver-a guy
I call him giver
He can't liver
But he's one heck of a guy
I spot him home and about to cry
Saying "I wish this were they day that I die"
"I wish this were the day that I die"

Verse four:
Asher masher in a war game basher
I had become the party crasher
I had a mental break down
Everybody started to leave
It is hard to be the one to receive
Cause I stole the fun like a big thieve
Well the flowers where in full bloom
But I'm the only one who can smell that sweet perfume
No one knew what it's like
So alone I rode my bike
Life isn't worth a second chance
If you can't live it with a joyful dance
I didn't see this on first glance
The day my world had changed

I was singin'
My my this receiver-a guy
I call him giver
He can't liver
But he's one heck of a guy
I spot him home and about to cry
Saying "I wish this were they day that I die"
"I wish this were the day that I die"

Verse five:
I found myself in one place
The receiver lost in space
Only one person to turn to now
So I told of a twin that was being released
And how I wanted see it the very least
So he turned on the screen showed me it right now
And as I watch in utter fear
I saw my faith in the world disapear
The young child was dead
In my hands I had buried my head
I went on crying through the night
For that child didn't have a winning fight
I knew then that this wasn't right
The day my world had changed

I was singin'
My my this receiver-a guy
I call him giver
He can't liver
But he's one heck of a guy
I spot him home and about to cry
Saying "I wish this were they day that I die"
"I wish this were the day that I die"

Verse six:
I got with the giver and made a plan
To rescue this awful awful klan
Tommarow is when we set things right
I snuck out in an early hour
Rode around ever patch of flowers
And a shivered from darkness of the night
And with me was gabriell
Why I brought him who can tell
Then I left this place
Rode out with possible disgrace
And while finding elsewhere is dangerous still
But compared to pain it's worth the chill
I see a cabin at the foot of a hill
The day my world had changed

And I singin'
My my this receiver-a guy
I call him giver
He can't liver
But he's one heck of a guy
I spot him home and about to cry
Saying "I wish this were they day that I die"
"I wish this were the day that I die"

And we singin'
My my this receiver-a guy
I call him giver
He can't liver
But he's one heck of a guy
I spot him home and about to cry
Saying "I wish this were they day that I die"
