(Anyway…)
Give me one good reason

You tell a lie
(Then deny)
You come home late
(There’s no debate)

Anyway…
Give me one good reason

Your treason
Is causing me dismay
(I’m on my way)

[Bridge]
Until your dismiss hate
(I’m late)

[Verse 2]
Your hypocrisy
(Is killing me)
Lie after lie after lie
(I breakdown and cry)

Anyway…
Give me one good reason
(Why I ought to stay)
Your treason
Is causing me dismay
(I’m on my way)

[Bridge]
Until your dismiss hate
(I’m late)

Anyway…
Give me one good reason
(Why I ought to stay)
Your treason
Is causing me dismay
(I’m on my way)

Until your dismiss hate
(I’m late)
Why not embrace peace
(At least a little)
Tell the bigots, “Cease!”
(Life is brittle)
Have you thought of love

[Intro]
(Christmas’ creation)
It’s a pagan solstice celebration!

[Verse 1]
Chosen
(In the 4th century)
Frozen
(Perhaps misplaced revery)

[Chorus]
Christmas’ creation
(A pagan solstice celebration!)
A date for solace
(A winter solstice)

[Bridge]
Ho, ho, ho
(What do you know)
The reason is the season

[Verse 2]
Yule
(You’ll find it heart warming)
Darkness done
(The return of the sun)

[Chorus]
Christmas’ creation
(A pagan solstice celebration!)
A date for solace
(A winter solstice)

[Bridge]
Ho, ho, ho
(What do you know)
The reason is the season

[Chorus]
Christmas’ creation
(A pagan solstice celebration!)
A date for solace
(A winter solstice)

[Outro]
Ho, ho, ho
(What do you know)
Ho, ho, ho
(Let’s give ‘er a go)
The reason is the season
Ho, ho, ho
(Let it snow)

ABOUT THE SONG
While rooted in the Christian belief of Jesus’s birth, Christmas has also evolved to include secular celebrations, such as giving gifts and spending time with family and friends, and its date of December 25th was chosen in the 4th century, possibly to replace or absorb pagan winter solstice celebrations. Many traditions associated with Christmas, such as feasting and gift-giving, have roots in ancient pagan festivals, like Yule and Saturnalia, which celebrated the winter solstice and the return of the sun.

LYRICS

Why did the chicken cross the road?

To beat the egg

Which came first the chicken or the egg?

Let’s go to the otherside

Leaving the irrational behind

Let’s ride the train of thought

To the otherside

A place that’s logical we’ll find

From that compassion will result

On the rightside

Why did Jack and Jill go up the hill?

To chuck your muck

Let’s fetch a wail of laughter

And, live happily everafter

If you fell down and broke your crown

Let’s leave the irrational behind

Leaving the irrational behind

Let’s ride the train of thought

To the otherside

A place that’s logical we’ll find

From that compassion will result

On the otherside
