lyrics

Merry Christmas mr. potter,
you warped, frustrated soul,
got me feeling suicidal on a bridge out in the cold
Wrapped my car around a tree trunk
Walked off in the snow
Scarred up the family heirloom
That took years and years to grow

I wish I had a million dollars
Wish I’d gone off to the war
Wish I shook this town off of me
Wish I’d never been born
Maybe you’re better off without me
I’ve done my share of wrong
I’ve been selfish and destructive
And I knew it all along

It’s hard to see the beauty
In the spoil and decay
Through the hate and the division
Through the politics in play
When we can’t trust each other
And we haven’t for so long
When the right side of history
Is the other persons wrong

I don’t believe In angels
Never mind one without wings
Drinking mulled wine in a dive bar
Waiting for his bell to ring
But merry Christmas mr. potter
Alone with all your wealth
Merry Christmas everybody

Merry Christmas to myself
God bless zuzu’s pedals
God bless my bloody nose
God bless drafty houses
And the old building and loan
God bless mr. Gower
God bless my one good ear
God bless everybody
Who made it through the whole damn year
