Set It Off – This Christmas Day (I’ll Burn It To The Ground)
VA
Deck the halls with boughs of holly,Fa la la la la, la la la la.Tis the season to be jolly,Fa la la la la, la la la la...Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!Oh my God, it's here, this awful time of yearHow I hate the snow is fallingWealthy neighbors bragging about the gifts they're gettingHey Jack! They say, let me see your gifts now! You're getting K-Mart clothes again!And then, I had a revelation!This is my chance to sew their lips clean shut with fearBecause...This Christmas, I'll burn it to the ground!This Christmas, Santa's skipping town!This Christmas, everything will change, when they see the flamesThis Christmas day!Christmas lights alive, lighting up the nightMeanwhile I'm inside my room, conniving though the cheer and laughter that resumesTonights the night, I have to do it right now!So, I will strike when all's asleepAnd creep, sneaking through your chimney!Saint Nic is gone for nowUp on the housetop, gifts are mine!Kiss your Christmas tree goodbye!Because...This Christmas, I'll burn it to the ground!This Christmas, Santa's skipping town!This Christmas, everything will change, when they see the flames,This Christmas day!Oh, make fun of me, will you?!Well I'll show you what true misery feels like!You see, as my idol once said,Everything burns!Hey everyone! Look outside your window! I have a surprise for you!Imagine this,One thousand gifts, and sixteen trees all lay in a heave in a cul-de-sacI strike my match, and I blaze the trail of gasolineThis ChristmasI'm ending the gameThis ChristmasWhat a crying shameThis ChristmasBecause...This Christmas, I'll burn it to the ground!This Christmas, Santa skipping town!This Christmas, everything will change, when they see the flamesThis Christmas day!
