Mike Sutherland - Capitalistmas Lyrics

The snow is falling down outside the window
The wind it makes a howling sound
Like none you've ever known
And in the cold there lies a manger
In between two motor homes

This is the birth of the Christ
In this 21st century hole that we call home

The savior cries aloud and opens up their eyes to see
Store bought decorations hanging from a giant tree, and o'
What a marvelous display of colored lights

But they don't know it's all for them
Yeah, they don't know it's all for them

So you go down to church on every other Sabbath day
And you pretend to hear the word
But never bow your head to pray
For all those petty things that glisten
They should've know you wouldn't listen
While you project your piety

You can't fool them and you can't fool me so I will

Sink on down
I do not know the sound
I do not sing for you
It's true

So I will hold on tight
Pretend I don't know what's mine
I'll make your heart swell and burst

So maybe that's Christmas
This is the time to be overjoyed
But I can't feel a thing
What was the price you paid
Was it worth all the glory
The time you gave is not enough
They're coming to call your bluff

So maybe that's Christmas
This one's on me
Hope that we turned out the way
That you wanted us to be
