Thank God, It's Christmas

It's Christmas season, lights up in the house,
But it makes no difference—Can't afford no power.
But, I thank God it's Christmas!

The winter wind's got no hold on me
Even though we've got no electricity.
But, oh, thank God it's Christmas!

My great-grandma got fired on Christmas Eve
From a job that she's had since the 1930s.
But, she thanks God it's Christmas!

My children's public schooling's as best as one can be;
They're learning how to aim, and how to spot commies,
And they thank God it's Christmas.

I pledge allegiance to the flag
And thank the NRA
For my god-given right
To take a life away,
And I thank God it's Christmas!

I don't need no health, I don't need money,
'Cause I know my country will take care of me,
And, oh, thank God it's Christmas!

I don't trust the doc, I don't trust vaccines;
My daughter will get sick if God wants her to be,
And she thanks God it's Christmas!

My banker is like family to me,
I love him even though he foreclosed my property,
And he thanks God it's Christmas!

I'll scream and shout, "My country 'tis of thee!"
Even thought they took the vote from Lady Liberty,
And, I'll thank God it's Christmas!

My friends are freezing with nothing to eat,
But they're proud to starve in the land of noble and free,
And they thank God it's Christmas!

My crops are dying out, can't afford no gasoline;
They've routed all my water to the presidential suite.
He's goddamn lucky it's Christmas.

Sometimes life can be so hard, all you wanna do is weep,
Could almost go insane from the pain and misery.
But, I thank God it's Christmas!

Desperation, destitution—God, I love the Constitution!
Read it every time my baby weeps!

Deprived, distressed, and disadvantaged,
Denied, defiled, doomed, and damaged—
Thank the first amendment I am free!

Damned, indebted, desolated,
Left for dead, and desecrated—
Read the second one, and say, "Whoopi!"

To my native land, I raise up my right hand,
My right to bear and set the spirit free.

Loaded up and ready, never held nothing so steady;
Close your eyes and hope to God you will not see

The things we're forced to do
In our country dear and true
As you hear the shots ring out on
Christmas eve.

Fear and desperation can drive any man insane,
But stranger things, they happen everyday...
