	Story Behind the Song I played everything on this one. Lyrics CHRISTMASTIME (IS A LIE) (P. Zolli) I see them on the street with those carols on their lips every time I see them there, I try to give them the slip ‘cos the newspaper told them and the radio’s exciting them and I know better, but there ain’t no use in fighting them they bought the lie - it must be Christmastime they’re selling peace on all the signs in the shopping arcade you’re buying joy from all those fat cats who’ve got it made and they told you what they sold you was a season and a spirit but I know what it really is and I’m not going near it ‘cos you bought the lie - it must be Christmastime how can you talk of joy with so many people crying? how can you talk of peace with so many people dying? when will you realize that Christmastime is a lie? I don’t mean to sound so sarcastic and if it thrills your little plastic heart I’ll button my lip - I’ll watch as you trip I’ll watch as they start to take your stockings off and hang them up to dry take your mistletoe and poke you right in the eye they tell you to enjoy yourself and join the celebration but they only want to sell you to enjoy your degradation and you think that’s fine - it must be Christmastime you bought the lie - it must be Christmastime it must be Christmastime Christmastime, Christmastime - Christmastime, Christmastime Christmastime, Christmastime - Christmastime, Christmastime 5/17/99
