lyrics

I'll put up the lights, I'll fake the appearance
But I hate this time of year
Cause all I think about is all of my failures
Father Time shows now sympathy here
Too much joy is overwhelming my senses
Why aren't they miserable like me
And all this happiness is testing my patience
Good will on earth ain't a reality

Let's go in debt this winter, finance our Christmas cheer
Let's buy some junk and gadgets, we'll throw away next year
Silver bells and all the shiny things, are they the meaning to our lives
Or is there something more we need to find, oh we really need to find

I'll buy some booze and get drunk on Christmas
Cause there ain't nobody here
If you had a heart you would have left me on Easter
And pretend to love me into the new year
Too much joy is overwhelming my senses
Why aren't they miserable like me
And all this happiness is testing my patience
Good will on earth ain't a reality

Let's go in debt this winter, finance our Christmas cheer
Let's buy some junk and gadget, we'll throw away next year
Silver bells and all the shiny things, are they the meaning to our lives
Or is there something more we need to find, oh we really need to find

We're gonna have the hap-hap-happiest Christmas you've ever seen
It doesn't matter if you're hurt, lonely or down you can't escape the glee
