Afflictions beset us and test us anew,
Heaven-bound, what’s that sound? A chorus of virgins.
Beware the traitors you’ve loved all along,
Soldiers of Christian nations who just soldier on.
I listen to the Fox news and snooze,
Wish it was Christmas.
The General’s report harkens back to the days,
Whether Minie balls or roadside bombs the killing’s all the same.
Children whose fathers face East ‘fore they fight,
Are children whose mothers fight because they’re right.
There’s nothing I know can excuse this,
I wish it was Christmas.
Either you’re for Christmas,
Or else you’re against us.
Five thousand crosses on a hill near my home,
Two strips of wood marking each one that’s gone.
Who can remember? Well there’s some sure who can.
Right the wrongs from days long gone. I understand,
That hatred is the new word for love,
So it’s best if it’s Christmas.
Either your for Christmas,
Or else you’re against us.
There’s nothing I know can excuse this,
So I wish it was Christmas.
Either you’re for Christmas,
Or else you’re against us...
