if we don't believe in jesus
that's absolutely fine
but can we not act like a penis
once in a year in our lives
cos if it's not about religion
can't the principle be right
simply giving and not getting
to be grateful to be nice

cos if no-ones being friendly
competition what you learn
competition rules are mingling
competition turns the world
so why do we keep doing this
this less than pointless work
when social cancer and its politics
is only getting worse

do you find it hard remembering
(the meaning of christmas)
can you feel it really wearing thin
(merry christmas!)

i don't want this
so i'm hiding in a caravan this christmas
you don't need this
you just gnash and have and take and grab this christmas

it was only mid september
when the adverts did emerge
to tell me how to get those presents right
it was so well rehearsed
and now its mid december
and all the kiddies are immersed
watch the grown-ups on a zombie mission
gold Frankenstein and purse

its hard remembering
(the meaning of christmas)
can you feel it really wearing thin
(merry christmas!)

i don't want this
so i'm hiding in a caravan this christmas
you don't need this
you're just angry at your mums and dads this christmas

santa's illegally crossed the border
on the silent night
with a beard and lots of packages
i think i know his type
i've seen him in the paper
i've read between the lines
so quick lock up your daughters
or he'll blow us to the sky

do you find it hard remembering
can you feel it really wearing thin
do you find it hard remembering
(what's the meaning of christmas?)
can you feel it really wearing thin
(merry christmas!)

you don't need this
you're just angry at the taliban this christmas
i don't want this
so i'm hiding in a caravan this christmas
you don't need this
you're just angry at your dear old man this christmas
and i don't want this
so i'm hiding
in a caravan
this christmas
