Everybody should write a Christmas song....ours is a bit on the disaffected anti-commercialist side....which we don't think has really been done before.

lyrics

Sour Grapes for Christmas

Christmas is here
There's a goose to get fat
Wine makes you senseless
Don't know where you're at
There's a sack in the hall
And it's broken your back
and broken your wallet
tomorrow it's smashed.

Good will don't mean anything anymore
Nor does the poor man
who's outside the door
Singing his songs
Of how things should be
Don't give him a thing
Give it all to me!

Peace on Earth
Goodwill to men
Put you hand in your pocket
It's that time again.

Presents are opened
And gifts are unwrapped
There's nothing on TV
But religious crap
What you want's death
and bullets and bombs
Not boring old stories
And silly old songs

I'll tell you what's wrong
And why it's not right
We only think of ourselves tonight
Presents are money
And money is power
And that is the reason
Our Christmas is sour
