Snow is falling in a quiet empty field
Smoke rises up above the tree line
The calm after the storm
The fires keep them warm
War on Christmas
There′s a war on Christmas just like every year
People are fighting when they should be spreading cheer
There's music in the air
Apprehension and despair
War on Christmas
The mall is crowded
Norah Jones is on the speakers
A set of clubs for dad
A brand new pair of sneakers
In the parking garage
It must be a mirage
War on Christmas
The smell of cookies
Hanging tinsel on the tree
And silent images of violence on TV
Who will win and lose?
Stay glued to the news
War on Christmas
There′s a war on Christmas
The kids are dreaming of that perfect present
The ghosts of Christmas past and future offer other lessons
It's a cold world that we live in
Learn to count your blessings
Every Christmas
Trucks are towing missiles to the launch site
An exodus of people fleeing day and night
All of this is shocking
Coal in all our stockings
The Christmas roast is burning
And this wicked world keeps turning
War on Christmas
