LYRICS
Oh, what a year it’s been
When hell freezing over did begin
Polarization at the polls
Realization of whose hearts have holes
Oh, what a year it’s been
When hell freezing over did begin
Listen! (Hear the) screams of tortured souls
Heaven? Better forget such lofty goals
King of the rude and crude
Destroys our peaceful interlude
The pseud of the shrewd “dude”
Screwed by lewd attitude
Delusional… the delusion of all
Install the “Great America” fall
Encourage the brawl
Encourage the maul
Drop your jaw in appall

bookmark_borderKrampus
Krampus is a horned, anthropomorphic folklore figure described as “half-goat, half-demon”. During the Christmas season, Krampus punishes children who have misbehaved, in contrast with Saint Nicholas, who rewards the well-behaved with gifts. Krampus is one of the companions of Saint Nicholas in regions including Austria, Bavaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia and Northern Italy.
Krmapus would take naughty children, place them in a sack, and whoop ’em with a stick.
LYRICS
Have you been naughty
Have you been nice
If it’s naughty,
Better think twice
There’s a Krampus amongst us
Bound and a gag
Gonna “stick” you in his bag
Yup, gonna stick you in a sack
Then, proceed to whack, whack, whack
There’s a Krampus amongst us
You better not cry… you better not fuss
A Krampus among us
Have you been good… have you been bad?
Going to turn the bad into sad
A Christmas Krampus going to smash and thump us
Might dole out a lump of coal

The 25th of Kislev
On this day, Jesus celebrated Hanukkah: “And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.”
Originally, the Syrian leader Antiochus had destroyed the temple. “Antiochus desecrated the temple in Jerusalem by sacrificing pigs on its altar and smearing the temple in blood.” However, the Syrian forces could not standup against the Hasmonean. The family became known as the Maccabees – the Hammer.
LYRICS
Be the last candle burning
Perpetual spiritual yearning
Be the light shinning bright
God’s hammer of might
May your love light shine
Enshrined miracle of time
Eyes behold the sight
A miracle… the festival of light
Be the first candle burning
Burn through the night until morning
May your love light shine
Enshrined miracle of time
Celebrate with the feast of dedication
Celebration of jubilation
Be the last candle burning
Keep our small world turning
May your love light shine
Enshrined miracle of time

LYRICS
I love the morning when I rise
Another day… another surprise
It always feels like noon is here too soon
Wish the day would never go away
Until the nightime
When the light gets slight
It’s the right time
Get a dose of holding you close
First Verse
You’re my spark in the dark
The fire in desire
The nightime
Feels like the right time
Nightime

From the dawn’s first light
’til I go sleep at night
I don’t mind you’re on my mind
Girlfriend
On my mind all the time
Girlfriend
From the day’s beginning

Her thought keeps me going
Girlfriend
Love’s on the home stretch
Love’s just around the bend
Going to catch this train

Can I call you girlfriend?

Does anyone know what time Festivus starts?
LYRICS
Come on and get Festivus with us
Come on and get Festivus
With the rest of us (God rest ye merry gentlemen)
A massive Christmas
For the masses
You know
Under the mistletoe
At the corner of Easy Street and Holiday Way
(OK? What do you say)
Krampus put a cramp in your style
Well, stick him in a sack
And whack him with a stick (That’s it. Quick!)
Get your Christmas style on for a while
Forget about the bearded toothless hag
Just stuff Krampus in a bag
Put on your Santa suits
With the big, black, shinny boots
Pop! Up on the rooftop
Down the chimney
Slap your knee
Stomp your foot
Shake off the soot

LYRICS
Will this hate ever cease
We’re in need of the Prince Of Peace
A gigantic love release
Lord of lords, come on-board
Imagine those in God’s image
Sucked humanity from country and city
Now, they fear to give birth on Earth
Lord of lords, come on-board
Third planet from the sun
In dismay… they’ve come undone
I pray you understand
Please come and land
Chorus
No intelligent life around
Since you arose and left the ground
We need Christmas to abound
I beg and plead you come back down
Imagine those of God’s image
Decompose to the “garbage age”
Man’s last Book… the last page… of the World’s Stage

LYRICS
It’s time to fight the fight
Don’t we all hate hate?
Shouldn’t tread on the right
Stand up and fight the fight
(Tread light on the fight)
Shine your love light
Our situation’s getting tight
If you’re going to take it light
Shine your love light
At least…
Help slay the beast
At the very least
Break it down to the simple elements…
Is what I meant
Use the might of love’s light
Set things right
Time to fight the good fight
Right the slight
Insight in sight
Insight is in sight
Shine your love light
Shine our love light
Come shine your love light, alright?

bookmark_borderToe Jam
A song inspired by the movie “Billy Jack”. Billy Jack features a Navajo protagonist, ex-Green Beret and Vietnam veteran. Billy fights for the rights of Native Americans. An action film that pairs Billy’s fighting with hippies to deliver an anti-establishment message.
“I’m gonna take this right foot, and I’m gonna whoop you on that side of your face.”
LYRICS
I’m going to take the right side of this foot
And find a place on the left side of your face
(On the left side)
Justice at your service
Come on Billy Jack
Pick up our slack
Sometimes they’re going to use might
Stand-up and fight
Pursue what’s right
Let us see Billy
Let us see, Billy
Billy use that axe to cut ’em down to size
They’ll realize
Gonna jam that toe
Ya know
Where the sun don’t shine
That justice is fine
Toe jam
I am
