lyrics

sleigh bells ring, you're not listening
not since you were sixteen
when you realized that the red and the green
stand for discontent and dollar signs

bitterness, bitterness bleeds from your soul
and it's taking its toll on you more than you know
you never smile anymore
what the hell is this holiday for

let the humbugs and hypocrites
know that we're sick of it
Christmas is here and we're all in the thick of it
stockings are hung and the tannenbaum's lit
and I'm tired of biting my lip

ring the bells if you're listening
make them hear us sing
let the sound of it drown out their apathy
this scroogery's bleeding me dry
and I don't really care if you don't really care about Christmas

and under duress
I confess
I'm impressed
with the stress
that I know
that you're holding up under

this holiday's not for the weak
and I'll say that
I can't really blame you for breaking

ring the bells if you're listening
make them hear us sing
fa la la la la la la la la la la

ring the bells if you're listening
make them hear us sing
let the sound of it drown out their apathy
this scroogery's bleeding me dry
and I don't really care if you don't really care about Christmas
