To Hell With Christmas [as it is]
Deck the halls with bloody corpses
Everything is stained red in the raw
Get your knives, hide your wives
Tis the season to break the law
No one feels the love these days
Just obsessed with material things
Money is flying here and there
Scatterbrained shoppers scurrying
Like roaches to a rotten piece of food
And rats into a baited box trap
They run the race driven by madness
In constant circles, running the laps
Deck the halls with something truthful
Shed these shiny lies and bright grimaces
Sing me the carol of a new dawn
Shining a light on these dark places
Everything is stained red in the raw
Get your knives, hide your wives
Tis the season to break the law
No one feels the love these days
Just obsessed with material things
Money is flying here and there
Scatterbrained shoppers scurrying
Like roaches to a rotten piece of food
And rats into a baited box trap
They run the race driven by madness
In constant circles, running the laps
Deck the halls with something truthful
Shed these shiny lies and bright grimaces
Sing me the carol of a new dawn
Shining a light on these dark places

You truly exposed what Christmas is like to everyone and how in reality people don't really stop to think about the children that are barefoot and naked without a present to give or get or the fact that some families don't seem to get along during around this time of year or that some people don't even have families at all and just walk around alone without family or friends giving them not even a Christmas wish.
I think people are truly selfish and they seem to forget that the more you teach about selfishness the more nastier of person you become. Very good write, I loved it very much.
