| Hey Frank!
|
| — Hey Roger
|
| Hey, can I see you in my office for a minute?
|
| — Yeah, sure… Hey Stew why the boss wants me for a minute?
|
| He probably got the cash
|
| Yeah have a seat (What's up boss?)
|
| We’re making some cutbacks
|
| — I know you’re not talking about me, I’m here 15 years, I got a seniority
|
| Hey, you gotta let it go
|
| — I got kids man!
|
| It is what it is
|
| He’s depressed in the dumps
|
| Victim of involving economy got bunked off the Assembly line
|
| And he feels like a chump
|
| Wonder how he’s gonna bring turkey for the giving and presents for the receiving
|
| This sucks, one day if Obama has to go without
|
| Explaining to his children how Santa must’ve missed a route
|
| I don’t think so, he’s much too proud
|
| To admit defeat or even accept handouts
|
| So he tells his wife that everything panned out
|
| At the plant and christmas is on his plan
|
| Tears of joy fill her eyes, but inside
|
| He feels even worse for lying and he wants to die
|
| He pretends to go to work everyday
|
| But he’s not going to work, he’s just wasting away
|
| In the front seat of a parking lot up the street
|
| Where he punches his steering wheel repeatedly saying «Why me?»
|
| Sometimes it gets real hard
|
| When you got no money and you got no job
|
| And you got no reason to be celebratin'
|
| And it seems like you’re in a hopeless situation
|
| (I got the chrismtas blew)
|
| Got the headlights turned off, the radio, too
|
| With the garage door closed so we get all the fumes
|
| Windows down so the exhaust gets through
|
| And all the windshield, man, fuck it, Christmas, too
|
| This is my gift to the bitch that ruined it all
|
| Fuck Monoxide, this is straight from Paul
|
| I probably should have seen all the writing all on the wall
|
| But it’s beginning with the cell phones calls didn’t deminish
|
| Didn’t have a job? |
| So what? |
| Your work buddy’s
|
| Just one of the many people you was putting above me
|
| I was thinking that you love me but when really it was a laughable situation
|
| So now I’m ugly in this with your face (I think?)
|
| Case of point in a minute you’ll be dead
|
| And then an hour after that all of your family’s comin' in
|
| And then an hour after that it’s on the evening news
|
| That the Christmas Blues was the reason I killed you
|
| I don’t give a fuck I’ve been working here for 7 years
|
| And this motherfucker just fired me
|
| Like I ain’t nothing but a piece of shit
|
| (Hey Paul, you gotta calm down!)
|
| That’s a fucking loyalty issue baby
|
| I gotta go there and handle my bussines
|
| (It looks like he’s got a fucking gun!)
|
| I got something for all of you motherfuckers
|
| All you motherfuckers! |
| What?! |
| (Gunshot)
|
| Dial it all on bread she said momma gotta pay the bills
|
| More mouths to feed in a house upon a hills
|
| Husband now reserved in the army and was gone and
|
| Two months ago at night when he was sleeping
|
| He was a medic in the army and a doctor in the states
|
| Light was the oyster with money to take a taste
|
| Take a page out the book, live happily ever after
|
| Til a phone call turned to see a man into disaster
|
| Was a sergeant of the army on the ether end
|
| Said he had a little level nice on her husband
|
| Grace yourself, ma’am, take a seat
|
| Your husband has died in service of the country
|
| We will send his remains and his personal affects
|
| To his last residence, I think that’s your address
|
| So she’s out gambling to help her forget
|
| That she hasn’t told her kids that their father’s dead yet |
