lyrics

Christmas cheer is cotton candy sugar coated butter
That's fried in fleshy dripping made from liposuctioned blubber
Designed by men and sold by girls who make your heart a-flutter
All underweight and overdressed and lonely in the gutter

I wonder as I wander through the filthy streets at midnight
How corporate public defecation fills you all with such delight
Watch the telly, baste the turkey, buy more shit and comb your Barbie's hair
Before holding hands and saying your prayers

They tell me that it's all about the birth of someone special but
I feel he wasn't even real it's all kinda commercial
With mistletoe and ritual and artificial smiles
Disguising your fear of how many more years you're going to get before you die
