    Story Behind the Song

    This year's tune wrestle's with competing perceptions of our world in the holiday season. On the one hand, there is the materialistic and rather depressing aspect of this "retail season," and the inevitable consequences of our priorities (both within ourselves, and in our world). On the other hand, the holiday season reveals a genuine and surprising generosity and despite our awkwardness, we manage to frequently exhibit the virtues that we extol.

    Lyrics

    Lonely childhood, bedroom community
    Isolation, bred for immunity
    to the cares and woes of a planet full of hapless souls
    who hunger for the privledge we disdain.
    Masquerading purchase for piety
    Wealth parading, reckless sobriety
    of obligated living, and calculated giving

    invested for return in fellow man.


    Nutmeg and cinnamon, the will to begin again
    the best of intentions, at least of ourselves
    Duty and tolerance, tradition and circumstance

    Binding us together and holding us apart


    Lonely childhood, bedroom community / Eggshell frailty, single serving lives
    Isolation, bred for immunity / Comfort conditioning teflon coated lies
    to the cares and woes of hapless souls
    who hunger for the priviledge we disdain.

    Buy two get hope free.


    Selfless kindness, spontaneous joy,
    handholding strangers, an ancient baby boy
    Faith in humanity,
    to end the insanity
    our bomb-dropping vanity,

    the souls we destroy


    In the moment we glow with the best of ourselves,
    with a hunder to know of the rest of ourselves
    Compassion, and reason, the fruits of the season

    for peace on earth, good will to all.
