Silent Night 2009

Silent night, fakery night,

Children's eyes

Watch the skies

Parents spend and families stress

Goods decide your happiness

Prove you love by spending

Prove your love through your purse.

Christmas time, marketing time,

Stockings weighed

Wealth deflates

Obligations to kith and kin

Don't spend more on her than him

While what we'd most like to see

Is a debt-free January

Prozac mum, Heineken dad

Turkeys die

The starving cry

Homeless shelters are full to the brim

While Jesus basks in the worship of Him

Lost in our vacuous thrills

The lonely all reach for their pills

Holidays are a' coming

Rejoice! Till the start of next year.
