Outside the carolers start to sing
I can't describe the joy they bring
'Cause joy is something they don't bring me

My girlfriend is by my side
Pick her up while hanging sickles of ice
Their whiny voices get irritating
It's Christmas time again

So I stand with a dead smile on my face
Wondering how much of my time they'll waste
Oh god, I hate these Satan's helpers

And then I guess I must have snapped
Because I grabbed a baseball bat
And made them all run for shelter

It's Christmas time
Again
It's time to be nice to the people who
You can't stand, all year
I'm growing tired of this Christmas cheer

You people scare me
Please stay away from my home
If you don't wanna get me down
Just leave the presents and let me be alone

Well I guess it's not cool to freak on Christmas eve
Because the cops came and arrested me
They had an unfair advantage
And even though the jail didn't have a tree
Christmas came a night early
As a guy named Bubba unwrapped my package

It's Christmas time
Again
It's time to be nice to the people who
You can't stand, all year
I'm growing tired of this Christmas cheer

You people scare me
Please stay away from my home
If you don't wanna get me down
Just leave the presents and let me be alone

I won't be home
I won't be home for Christmas
I won't be home

    General Comment:this is soooo my song.....
    do any of you know how much it freaking sucks to be born the day after xmas? people are always telling me to cheer up and be happy about it when all i want is for them leave me the hell alone and for one of my friends to actualy remember that i exist...
    why does the non-christian portion of the world see it nessairy to celibrate xmas anyway? instead of being about jesus its just about junk. i don't see why the government doesn't call it giftmas instead...

    and whoever said that this would be on an xmas cd 20 years in the future is probably right.
    yay irony!

    General Comment:Ppl, blink-182 are sell outs, i mean, its a fact, and by my definition this means a punk band that joins a major label, i think that blink is still a good band and who the fuck cares? are you too punk to listen to music you like? fucking faggets
