about

Written for Christmas 2011. Inspired by the Occupy Movement, when there were many cold people camping outside in cities of the world to make a point.

lyrics

This year I can't afford to purchase
Presents for my family and friends
I have not a penny to rub between
My thumb and forefinger

This year it all went wayward
I had no gainful employment
With no cheerleader
To cheer me on
No woman
No fun

Oh Christmas
Oh Christmas
Oh offer forgiveness

Oh Christmas
Oh Christmas
I let the family down

I am going to occupy
An old tent by a cathedral
The minister won't know what to do
What would Jesus do?

Oh Christmas
Offer Christmas
I let the family down

Next Christmas
I'll be back in business
You will all be showered in things
