LYRICS
Fighting for your attention
For your dollar’s collection
Fighting to take, take, take
Leaving giving in the wake

A veteran of the Christmas Wars
Putting the greedy behind bars
Better yet, take no prisoners
That can’t be dedicated followers

Playing on your emotion
But, on closer inspection
Fighting to take, take, take,
Try giving “for heaven’s sake!”

A veteran of the Christmas Wars
Your medal is to shine like the stars
Enlightening the universe for ever and ever
’till such time as God’s love ends… never!

Slaying all your religion
Raping Mary, The Virgin
Ripping the heart out of Christmas
Is war strategy for defeat… demise I surmise… alas

LYRICS
I’ll have an ole fashion
Just the way I did
While I listen to ya fib

Ya said we’d be free
From sea to sea
Let it be

Strap on your spurs
Fix your bayonets
Rather the girls
Though both bring regrets

The legacy of our society
“Me, me, me!”
The legacy of our society
Breakin’ every treaty

Where the buffalo once would roam
We plowed a home
Raping the children of Mother Nature
Man, did we mature?

LYRICS
A day that was way, way, way….
Back when you knew what
Knock, knock on my door
There’s a tale of the enemy

Where ya gonna be when the dead come through
I swear
Where… ya gonna be when the dead come through

The Redcoats are coming
The Japs or a Gook
The beat is drumming
Come take a look

Where ya gonna be when the dead come through
Out there
Where… ya gonna be when the dead come through

As borders disappear
The fear you draw near
Will make it appear

Grab a partner
Swing her round and round
Bearded, toothless… non-the-less
You’re doin’ the Hag Rag

Grab a partner
Swing her round and round
Bearded, toothless… non-the-less
You’re doin’ the Hag Drag
