Finally! A d-beat winter solstice anthem that we can ALL enjoy!
All proceeds go to the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty.
lyrics
Fighting and kicking and decking the halls
Dodging the zombies at the shopping malls
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
Commercials and posters tell us what to buy
The children are restless, they scream and they shout,
"Mommy! Mommy! I want it now!"
Shameful it's still called a holy-day,
This commercialist bullshit is making me say,
Fuck the systemas,
We've got to resist-mas,
It's winter solstice-mas,
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Fuck big biz-mas,
Anti-capitalistmas,
Merry Anarchistmas to you
Making a million and making me sick,
So many bylines to make it stick,
Solstice for all: the young and the old,
Why are so many of us in the cold?
Holding my breath and counting the days,
Hoping that Santa will just go away.
In the abyss, we'll teach you to swim,
Though chance of survival's remarkably slim.
Fuck the systemas,
We've got to resist-mas,
It's winter solstice-mas,
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Fuck big biz-mas,
Anti-capitalistmas,
Merry Anarchistmas to you.
