Silent Night 2009
Silent night, fakery night,
Children's eyes
Watch the skies
Parents spend and families stress
Goods decide your happiness
Prove you love by spending
Prove your love through your purse.
Christmas time, marketing time,
Stockings weighed
Wealth deflates
Obligations to kith and kin
Don't spend more on her than him
While what we'd most like to see
Is a debt-free January
Prozac mum, Heineken dad
Turkeys die
The starving cry
Homeless shelters are full to the brim
While Jesus basks in the worship of Him
Lost in our vacuous thrills
The lonely all reach for their pills
Holidays are a' coming
Rejoice! Till the start of next year.
