LYRICS
\nFighting for your attention
\nFor your dollar’s collection
\nFighting to take, take, take
\nLeaving giving in the wake<\/p>\n

A veteran of the Christmas Wars
\nPutting the greedy behind bars
\nBetter yet, take no prisoners
\nThat can’t be dedicated followers<\/p>\n

Playing on your emotion
\nBut, on closer inspection
\nFighting to take, take, take,
\nTry giving “for heaven’s sake!”<\/p>\n

A veteran of the Christmas Wars
\nYour medal is to shine like the stars
\nEnlightening the universe for ever and ever
\n’till such time as God’s love ends… never!<\/p>\n

Slaying all your religion
\nRaping Mary, The Virgin
\nRipping the heart out of Christmas
\nIs war strategy for defeat… demise I surmise… alas<\/p>\n
