Christmas@#$%&

James Michael Taylor

CHRISTMAS@#$%&

I don’t want to seem obnoxious
I always try to be polite
But there are some things that bother me
That keep me up at night
And I ain’t no damned atheist
and I ain’t no Hebrew
And I ain’t one to hold my tongue
when the thots come rushing thru
I’m talkin’ about Christmas
Now, I know it might sound radical
and it goes against the grain
But I tried to write a Christmas song
and it almost broke my brain
The lies we tell our children
about Santa and the Lord
And all this talk about peace and love
while we’re marching off to war
I’m talkin’ ‘bout Christmas
Christmas, it’s that time of year.
Yes, it’s Christmas. Ahhh, forget about it!
The ribbons and the wrappin’
That phony soap flake snow
The sheep would freeze out in the fields
this time of year, you know
They say it’s supposed to warm my heart
and make my spirits glow
but I suspect it’s just to make me
want to spend my dough
I’m talkin’ about Christmas.
