Credits/Backstory:

I wrote this song 20 years ago. Time has only intensified my fear and loathing.
But I had a good time making the song; very therapeutic. I recorded this in the home studio of my musical pal, Matt Salerno. Matt played keyboards, sang harmony, and created some digital effects (very avant in 1987!) I sang, played rhythm guitar, bass guitar, and kazoo. Marc Massaro played the drum kit and percussion.

Lyrics:

Here comes xmas once again
holiday time for me and my friends
here’s comes xmas, it’s in the cards
Santa’s elves been workin’ hard
here comes xmas, oh what fun
like lookin’ down the barrel of a shiny gun.

Let’s bomb the middle-east, let’s have a holiday feast
let’s start the family fight, let’s all sing “Silent Night.”

Here comes xmas it’s a wonderful thing
church bells peal and sleigh bells ring
here comes xmas, it’s a glorious time
children frolic and Santa rides
here comes xmas, and I’m feelin’ wary
I can’t wait for January

Let’s shop and shop and shop, let’s drink until we drop
let’s drive our cars too fast, let’s go to midnight mass.

Well come on back again reindeer I need another ride I need to feel your silky pelts between my party thighs let’s rocket ride right out of here up to the cold north pole and party hearty with old Saint Nick and all his little trolls.

Xmas comes but once a year
but when it does you know it’s here
it’s hard to resist, it can’t be missed
it stays with me like an icy kiss
I hope good will is not truly diein’
year in year out it’s hard to keep tryin’

Let’s throw starvin’ kids a bone, let’s deny the homeless homes
let’s turn forests into trash, let’s kiss the great god cash.
