Nobody wants a war song on Christmas
None of the carolers ever sing about
bloody old battles and glorious fights
Nobody wants a war song on Christmas
And if it sounds wrong on Christmas
why does it ever sound right?
I'm decking the halls jingling bells
with Rudolph and old Santa Claus
And I hear Joys to the World
in the radio jingle bell pop
But the night isn't silent
for everyone when the fat men in suits slant the laws
No, it's loud It's the loudest sound of the Lord
and the weeping and wailing don't stop
So please Mr. Money Man
make money other than profits or pain
You're slanging my name
while the boys are still fighting
following fear
and there ain't no free time to ask why
Bring them home, bring them home
Bring everyone home
Oh Mr. you'd be glad they came
So while you're singing your peace on earth songs
You won't have to lie
Cause nobody wants a war song on Christmas
Oh no none of the carolers ever sing
about bloody old battles and glorious fights
Cause nobody wants a war song on Christmas
And if it sounds wrong on Christmas
why does it ever sound right?
There was a man long ago
he said "love not only thy neighbor"
There was a man long ago
He said "love everyone"
There was a man long ago
He said "love thine enemy"
That man changed the world
Never had to pick up a gun
Cause no no no no
Nobody wants a war song on Christmas
Oh no, none of the carolers ever sing about
bloody old battles and glorious fights
Cause nobody wants a war song on Christmas
And if it sounds wrong on Christmas
why does it ever sound right?
Said if it sounds wrong on Christmas
why does it ever sound right?
None of the carolers ever sing about
bloody old battles and glorious fights
Nobody wants a war song on Christmas
And if it sounds wrong on Christmas
why does it ever sound right?
I'm decking the halls jingling bells
with Rudolph and old Santa Claus
And I hear Joys to the World
in the radio jingle bell pop
But the night isn't silent
for everyone when the fat men in suits slant the laws
No, it's loud It's the loudest sound of the Lord
and the weeping and wailing don't stop
So please Mr. Money Man
make money other than profits or pain
You're slanging my name
while the boys are still fighting
following fear
and there ain't no free time to ask why
Bring them home, bring them home
Bring everyone home
Oh Mr. you'd be glad they came
So while you're singing your peace on earth songs
You won't have to lie
Cause nobody wants a war song on Christmas
Oh no none of the carolers ever sing
about bloody old battles and glorious fights
Cause nobody wants a war song on Christmas
And if it sounds wrong on Christmas
why does it ever sound right?
There was a man long ago
he said "love not only thy neighbor"
There was a man long ago
He said "love everyone"
There was a man long ago
He said "love thine enemy"
That man changed the world
Never had to pick up a gun
Cause no no no no
Nobody wants a war song on Christmas
Oh no, none of the carolers ever sing about
bloody old battles and glorious fights
Cause nobody wants a war song on Christmas
And if it sounds wrong on Christmas
why does it ever sound right?
Said if it sounds wrong on Christmas
why does it ever sound right?
