about

A good old fashioned drunken Christmas RANT

lyrics

Verse 1
This time of year keeps coming too fast
Another reminder, much worse than the last
That you still got nothing to show - ho ho
Let's drink to Christmas, let's numb the rage
The spite and the fear they get better with age
But at least you have somewhere to go - ho ho

Verse 2
Well now, this year, I found the love of my life
It's all over now and she's somebody's wife
So I'll drink til I can't feel my toes - ho ho
I am so pleased that you're doing so well
But my life is shit and I'm going through hell
I'll just get fucked up on gin hoping it flows - ho ho


So merry Christmas if you're still with us
A time for the family to all gather round
He's got potential he just hasn't found

And Santa's sending condescending
Notes with the money, it's something you'll use
But deep down we know I was born to lose
So let's get drunk this Christmas


Verse 3
Well I am so sick and damn tired of myself
The cracker pulled jokes my career and my health
And my patience is starting to go - ho ho
I see myself now in a whisky tint haze
Because anything good just gets taken away
And the cracks they are starting to show - ho ho


Verse 4
And the fans are so quiet, they don't cheer, they don't chant
Everyone knows that I love a good rant
There's no time quite like Christmas - to blow - ho ho
I only pray I'm not here in a year
Maybe I'll die, or I'll find second gear
I'm just spinning my wheels, in the snow - ho ho



Verse 5
Your lives are so simple, I can't comprehend
How to find love and a best fucking friend
I have only found new lows - ho ho
I'm so bitter my brother, I'm surrounded by death
This country will rob me my very last breath
Lay me down with wreaths of mistletoe - ho ho
HO HO!!
