lyrics

Blue Collar Xmas Party
r.dafremen

It's ok
if you didn't get me anything for Christmas
Here comes the snow
and we're all dead broke, as God's my witness
Even so
there ain't no reason to let it stress us

When we get the cold
while they put a bow on a brand new Lexus
because it's Christmas

Well, anyway
I didn't mean to get sidetracked in that direction
What I mean to say
my friends is in the end, we all learn our lessons
What we need
this season is a reason to believe and have someone
So forget the tree
this year I put my star on the top of a fridge of cold ones
because it's Christmas

(CHORUS)
So bring yourselves
and I'll have everything I want for Christmas
Just bring yourselves
and I'll have everything I need
C'mon bring yourselves
and I'll have everything I want for Christmas
Just bring yourselves
and I'll have everything I need
for Christmas
(END CHORUS)

It's been a hell of a year
The rich keep getting richer
we're all getting broker
The world's getting colder
but at least we've got each other!

And it's Christmas

So let's change the rules
to where the gifts are few, but the laughs keep coming

Stop playing fools
to the upper crust and the game they're running
We've got our own beat
it sounds a lot more like a drummer boy drumming
So celebrate with me
(and if you're out in the cold, by all means..come in)
'cause it's Christmas

[Repeat CHORUS a bunch of times and have a great holiday season!]

about

Penniless Punk Utica, Michigan

This is music for working class people.

Only courage will make the world right.

If you're tired of the arguing, this music's for you.
If you're fighting the good fight, this music is for you.

If you still start each day with a little hope in your heart, this is for you.

I'm just glad you're here and I get to write songs about it.
