LYRICS:
Merry Christmas is what they tell me
Ye all a good year
But all the company that keeps me
Is this here warm beer
Under the lights, red and green
Flashing in this bar room scene
I see a line of tired eyes
Drunk with the tears no one cries
Merry Christmas, patron saints
Jesus, it's been one hell of a year
Merry Christmas, feel the spirit
Spend your every last quarter and dime
After slaving hours in factories
Blinded into the night
Under the harsh white lights
We sell our souls 9 to 5
We scrape the bottom line
So our families survive
Merry Christmas, to the people
Jesus, it's been one hell of a year
Come all ye faithful, it don't mean a thing
I reach out my cup, but they keep on walking
I ain't never seen a miracle, but I keep praying
Solo
Merry Christmas is what they sell me
Ye all a good year
But I'm searching in this lonely city
For an honest face of cheer
Under the northern sky
Where every star can shine
There is a dream alive
A chance to see Orion
Merry Christmas, this holy city
Jesus, it's been one hell of a year
Merry Christmas, holy city
Jesus, it's been one hell of a year
