Lyrics The Vandals – I Don’t Believe In Santa Claus

I don’t believe in Santa Clause —
His corporate image forced upon
The blinded spending masses
To enslave the lower classes

With obligatory gifts that serve to cleanse
A year of guilt and shame
One token gesture justifies
The apathetic, hypnotized

Leaving them to be Kris Kringle’s slaves
Buy! Buy! I won’t do it
The seasons obligation has not my participation
Buy! Buy! I won’t do it
The money hungry mating call of corporate swine

Cuz —
It’s only for the money!
It’s only for the money!
It’s only for the money!
It’s only for the money!
Now Buy!

He monitors naughty and nice-
Big brother is St. Nick!
Methodically his judgment made
Documented on his list

I- Don’t believe in Santa Clause
Or his mystical facade
To teach the children wanton greed
They’re lust for gifts becomes a need

Brainwashed by the marketing
And victims of the corporate scheme
Material possessions becoming they’re obsessions

His tactics of intimidation repress the minds of youth
Using fear for generations, His image hides the truth
He’s just a puppet for the system, a glutton in a suit
With Yuletide propaganda and a bearded mask to boot!
