It's Not Actually Christmas
from Peak [Happy Holidays EP] by WORKMANSONG
lyrics
yeshua may have arisen on a sunday
but i think we've been a bit misled about his birthday
after all, it's just the solstice holiday
christmas is a wonderful time for cheer
but it probably should be some other time of year, like the fall
some have said that the rabbi was a pisces
others have calculated capricorn or aries
he's a springtime baby or he might be a summer flower
christmas is a wonderful time for snow
but only in the kind of place where that weather goes, like canada (amen)
well if you got some cash for presents
might as well as well give alms to the peasants
doesn't matter if it's really christmas
and if you're not a red wine drinker
and you're not a subscribing body bread breaker
may you ride out the yuletide like a surfer
with grace and some nameless cheer.
i'm not trying to burst no bubbles
but i'm just pointing out that this might not actually be christmas at all.
