Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
And Happy Thanksgiving too
Aren’t you glad to have your family here
All in one place in front of you?
But sometimes we do despise
This very precious kind of time
‘Cause we cannot get over our own lives
So why do we fight on the holidays?
This is the time where we should celebrate
Put all your qualms aside
And be thankful for once this time
‘Cause why should we fight on the holidays?
There’s miles of food to go around
And the cold doesn’t seem as harsh this fall
There’s so much that we can talk about
We may not even remember it all
But that’s okay but when you say
That you don’t want to do today
And suddenly things do not seem okay
But why do we fight on the holidays?
This is the time where we should celebrate
Put all your qualms aside
And be thankful for once this time
‘Cause why should we fight on the holidays?
There’s lots of bad to focus on
And people that have been done wrong
But just erase that from your mind
And think about what’s good in life
Just try to stay positive
Embrace the world in which you live
When everything’s completely fucked
Open your mind keep your mouth shut
But why do we fight on the holidays?
This is the time where we should celebrate
Put all your qualms aside
And be thankful for once this time
‘Cause why should we fight on the holidays?
