Back when I rode in my father’s car
Radio singin of a Christmas star
That did show
The way to peace from near and far
Now I never want to hear that song again

Cuz if each Noel
Has a battle toy to sell
How can I
(hail the king of peace)
If the target’s blind
Can he hear the end of time
as we
(hail the king of peace)

The holy ghost was
Ridin shotgun
Thus the west was won
Rifles rang while
We all sang
Each war was the last one

Who still believes in a promised land
As every forest is turned into sand
And we still
Say ‘Onward, Christmas soldier man’
May I never hear a Christmas song again

Death and violence
World in silence
Going, going, gone
Faith has failed
As peace is jailed
By those who sing the song
How long? 

Cuz if each Noel
Has a soldier’s grave to sell
How can I
(hail the king of peace)
Every song designed
To twist us heart and mind
I cannot
(hail the king of peace)

Christmas eve under a naked sky
Now I never want to hear
That song
