Although the world's warmer we all feel it still
The coming of Christmas, the wintery chill
If we can destroy all around us, we will
Merry Christmas, everything's fucked
This summer was hotter than last, that’s the norm
This winter, of course, will be much too warm
But don’t worry, year-round we’ll have more killer storms
Merry Christmas, everything's fucked
In the US, it’s about a coin flip
If your body is subject to men's power trips
The high court decided to let it all rip
Merry Christmas, everything's fucked
Mass shootings are still a familiar scene
But the gun companies rake in plenty of green
Because nothing says safety like an AR 15
Merry Christmas, everything's fucked
And the chief insurrectionist thinks he’s detected
The ways that our system can be slowed and deflected
He’s not wrong to think he can be re-elected
Merry Christmas, everything's fucked
And the cruelest of all are the bullies who swear
They're protecting the children but they really don't care
They just want know what's in your underwear
Merry Christmas, everything's fucked
It gets harder each day to see slivers of light
But we must continue to seek out delight
We must show love and kindness wherever we can
We must work together to take down The Man
If we fail today, then let’s try tomorrow
If you don’t have something, just ask, you can borrow
It’s not true that love is all that we need
But without it we’ll fail, and that’s guaranteed
So if you wake up on the 25th day
Of December and all that’s around you is grey
Find someone you love and embrace them and say
“Merry Christmas, everything’s fucked.”
