I see it snowing outside again
i think it’s time for a holiday
I get the chills, when the lights go on
the bells that jingle get to my head 

I’m escaping all the christmas cheer
the endless shopping is to much to bear
I want this and that, spending spree, plastic card fever
buy now, pay later, lets become a believer 

You know this our new religion
won’t you sign up for the shopping division?
let’s go and pray at the mall
let’s have ourselfs a christmas ball 
 

I gotta run, i gotta hide
or i’ll go down with the fever tonight
Santa Clause is coming our way
so better watch out alright? 


If you can take your view from that screen
maybe you’ll understand just what i mean
but you are to busy, becoming your feed
you’re buying the things, you don’t really need

so don’t you think, it’s time to be free?
lets decorate the christmas tree just you me
and spend a little time on our own
that’s what christmas about, not the habit you grown      

I gotta run, i gotta hide
or i’ll go down with the fever tonight
Santa Clause is coming our way
so better watch out alright?


 I remember another time, it wasn’t always like this
people cared for each other then, not only christmas gifts
we’re gonna take that spirit back, kick the businessmen out
have some beer, dance 'round the tree, singing our christmas song 


He’s gotta run, he gotta hide
or go down with a punch tonight
santa claus better watch out 
cause were taking christmas back
