lyrics

It was Christmas eve
the bright lights on the trees
all the snow men were standing their ground
the benevolent child
was a cramp to my style
didn't have a penny to throw around
there was a rumor amiss
saying Santa was pissed
but no one cared, cuz he didn't exist
its amazing this time
how we use the divine
and obligate a day to grant your wish

Its energetic
merry Christmas yes
sort of pathetic
merry Christmas I guess
and off the wall
merry Christmas no
lets have a ball
merry Christmas lets go

It was Christmas day
we read the words to
opened gifts while we sat on the ground
showing so much love
but at the end of the buzz
we went right back to snickers and frowns
and on that silent night
that unholy night
it was sure that the joke wasn't through
I saw child laying dead
and a hooker bloody red
merry Christmas lets hope you pull through

Its energetic
merry Christmas yes
sort of pathetic
merry Christmas I guess
and off the wall
merry Christmas no
lets have a ball
merry Christmas lets go
