Do You Fear What I Fear?
When we wake on Christmas MorningUnderworn and over-sleptWe'll face the day we always havewith coy indifferenceOur brows adorned with ornamental scornthe same we've worn since we were kidsand how we'd sooner skip completelyDecember 24-26But could it be were we to just believeIn virgin birth and Christmas cheerOur holidays could all be bright and gay...and not the way our parents fearAnd so I'm offering this simple phraseTo which I hope we'll all adhereTo every faithless heart who lay in wait:We're taking Christmas back this yearWe'll wake unafraidAnd evade the obligations we've madeWe'll take aim to reclaimThe final daysOf the calendar's pageFaith?SongtexteFelt of feigned?Has no placeIn our new HolidayAnd what remains we will embraceAnd celebrateEach new escape we createAnd just when our hearts threaten to distendThe season will endAnd the New Year descendBut 'til thenI solemnly commandWith out-stretched handChristmas, be ours again
