The lights are up, the tree is trimmed
So why do I still feel so grim?
This Christmas, what I want most
Don't wanna be a Christmas ghost
The White House never looked so white
Tell me Santa, will it be alright?
Missiles flying from Kimmy Jong
Saying "Merry Christmas" never felt so wrong
All the stockings are burnt and torn
All the children are blonde and orange
The sky lights up like the 4th of July
So, "Merry Christmas...we're only gonna die!"
Santa, Santa, how could it be?
There's bigotry beneath the Christmas tree
Missiles flying from Kimmy Jong
Saying "Merry Christmas" never felt so wrong

Christmas Is Creepy

He breaks into your house in the middle of the night
And if it wasn't Christmas Eve he'd serve 25-to-life
But one day in every year we just decided that it's alright
Is that alright?
Christmas is creepy
The elves are hard at work, all full of Christmas joy
Making sure that there is something fun for every girl and boy
I guess sweatshops are okay if its's the elves making the toys
Just make the toys
Christmas is creepy
He can see you while you're sleeping

You're one of them
Those people who sing Christmas songs
All year long
You're not my friend
You're one of them
Hanging rows of mistletoe
You love the snow
You're not my friend
You're one of them
You say, "Merry Christmas"
I say, "Bah! Humbug!"
You put on Ol' Blue Eyes
I raise my Black Flag high
You're one of them
Those people who sing Christmas songs
All year long
You're not my friend
You're one of them

Christmas Means Whatever

Keep the Christ in Christmas
Cause that's where he belongs
And keep your candlelight service and old religious songs
Rudolph isn't in the Bible
But you can keep him too
Cause Christmas doesn't mean anything but what it means to you
So keep your pagan rituals
The Yule Log and your tree
Or light a Hanukkiah and read the Book of Maccabee
Or if you don't celebrate anything
It's still December for you too
Cause the holidays don't mean anything but what they mean to you
Saint Nicholas is really real
And Santa Clause is too
Commercialism, heart-felt gifts, believing makes it true
We act like it's tradition
But it's just this weird stuff that we do
And none of it means anything but what it means to you
