Christmas

I don't write songs for cheese, I write 'em for Cheesus Nah I'm no believer but I got time for the geezer It was based what he said about the eye of a needle And how to give back to caesar what's rightfully caesar's Now we buy you lots of stuff but you don't really need it You're one year old I don't know if you even perceive it Ain't no manger just a layer of plasticky pieces I'm no wise man and my star may be lost to the evening, but look You don't need to bring calling birds or golden rings You are enough just here with me Your baggage and your dreams, your struggles and your needs, As simple as they seem, May be the only gift we need I'm not tryna be Choong I'm trying to be Chomsky The way he taught us to see how our thinking was wonky Manufactured consent got me yelling at the telly At 3pm like "who put a crown on this honky"? I'm not trying to stir the pot or throw any more beef in But I might flip on a cousin if they ask again why I'm vegan I guess we came here on roads from separate regions And have to let each other walk them wherever they're leading, but still You don't need to bring calling birds or golden rings You are enough just here with me Your baggage and your dreams, your struggles and your needs, As simple as they seem, May be the only gift we need And everything is different, the snow can't keep it frozen Changing with each instant, moulded by each moment Shepherds' flocks keep drifting And I guess that's ok, I'll start again on new year's day I don't write bars for Ms I write 'em for Emma, Forever ago, miss Goldman said it way better That we can start a revolution and spread it together But if I can't dance to it it ain't worth the sweat or the effort So take my hand while the lights are shedding resplendence I know I talk a lot of shit without getting the message But If you're still here next year armageddon-dependent That would truly be one hell of a present, for real You don't need to bring calling birds or golden rings You are enough just here with me Your baggage and your dreams, your struggles and your needs, As simple as they seem, May be the only gift we need
