“We Don’t Have Christmas Spirit in our House”
♠ We don’t have the Christmas spirit in our house
We are a family, As if we are dead
I have a mom I have a dad
They are not so bad
But we are always sad
From the days when I was a baby lad
We are never glad
And I don’t know why
♠ Dad sits and drinks
And never thinks
Until he badly stinks
He comes from work and shouts
Then starts to consume alcohol in spouts
Mom constantly in a fight
A major ongoing brawl
Between them
Like the endless cold war
They never find a door
To settle down and sign a treaty
For we are suppose to be a united family
♠ Its Christmas we have a tree
We have shining lights at least we can see
We have stars that glimmer and glee
We have a lavish dinner
We have candles sparkling bright
We have a turkey and crabs
Chestnuts up on the chimney
The teapot hissing with boiled tea
But we are yet unhappy
We got JESUS born under the green tree
But no gifts to welcome Him
We never exchanged gifts
♠ Every year at this time of year
I sit at the corner and shed my tears
While glasses of vodka in cheers
And toasts of beer
But brawls and curses are the only things
Those rattle in my ears
Dad curses Christmas curses life
Mom sits and shouts her mouth
We sit around the table
As if it’s not in our home
We are in a stable
Then they go to gamble
♠ Midnight comes and lips utter Halleluiah
For Christ has born
Fire crackers roar the world
Parents cuddle and huddle
Together to pray
Exchange wishes and presents
And I sit and wail sigh and groan
Mourn and sob
I never have a kiss from dad
I never get a kiss from mom
And from my brother
All I get is a lot of bother
A good wish is all I want
And what do I get in return
A cheap sharp blow
Up on my face
To carry this pain for the rest of the year
This how it was since I was a kid
Pain accumulated and I was able to hid
No one knew why I am sad not even a bit
This year much the same as the pasts
We decorate but never live the spirit in our house
We don’t have the Christmas spirit in our house
