Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Another year out on the battle lines Well, it must be another Christmas time Raising Hell about a coffee cup Because it’s just not Christmassy enough So keep the Christ in the Christmas Or you will lose my business Have a merry war on Christmas May all your weaponry burn bright Have a merry war on Christmas And always celebrate it right Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh As I walk the streets of my hometown No baby Jesus manger to be found People tell me “Happy Holidays!” I look at them and think that they are crazed Just tell me “Merry Christmas!” Or you’ll be on my hit list Have a merry war on Christmas May all your weaponry burn bright Have a merry war on Christmas And always celebrate it right Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Oh, oh, oh Have a merry war on Christmas Have a merry war on Christmas Have a merry war on Christmas (He’s the reason for the season) Have a merry war on Christmas (He’s the reason for the season) Have a merry war on Christmas (He’s the reason for the season) Have a merry war on Christmas (He’s the reason for the season)

It's Christmas Time Again 04:08
lyrics
buy track
Well it’s that time of year again Gathered ‘round family and friends The temperature is falling And carolers come calling It looks like Christmas time again The bells ring throughout the town And the snow is falling down Spreading thoughts of hope and joy Throughout the land Well there are others at this time That you should keep at top of mind So why don’t you reach out and lend A helping hand Buying gifts and making plans Put up a tree and hope it stands But there are other problems And you can help to solve them Because it’s Christmas time again Let there be peace around the world And joy to every boy and girl Shine light upon the world And make it bright Well it may be a daunting task And an awful lot to ask So let’s make a miracle This Christmas night Oh oh oh oh oh oh Look it’s Christmas time again Oh oh oh oh oh oh Look it’s Christmas time again Oh oh oh oh oh oh Look it’s Christmas time again Oh oh oh oh oh oh Look it’s Christmas time again

about

Enjoy these reworked versions of two Christmas songs that have existed in various demo forms for the past several years. "Merry War on Christmas" was written as a piano rocker and quickly recorded in the wake of the Starbucks holiday cup non-scandal of 2015. "It's Christmas Time Again" was originally written in December 2011 just to see if I could write a Christmas song. It has gone through several revisions over the past decade.
