oops, forgot the lyrics...
Christmassacre
verse 1
I was born on Christmas day, by a cruel twist of fate
I had to share my birthdays with a man I grew to hate
He takes all the attention that really should be mine
My friends just think it’s funny and they tell me not to whine
chorus
My parents must have planned it this way
Now I am going to make them pay
verse 2
Every year at Christmas, when I hear those stupid bells
I want to take a howitzer, and blow them all to hell
I will not participate, in compulsory fun
The congregation makes me sick, I’ll blast them with a gun
chorus
My family is going to feel my shame
Everyone is going to share my pain
bridge (Longfellow) - spoken
‘And in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth," I said;
"For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!’
verse 3
Every year in winter time, my family starts complaining
They want to build a snowman so I’m glad it’s always raining
I cry about my presents, until they take them back
I scream and shout, I make a noise, I leave my food, I break my toys
chorus
My parents must have planned it this way
Now I am going to make them pay
