I'm still getting bombarded with really horrible so-called Christmas carols at work over the speaker system. Some of the songs that irritate me are some of the Jackson 5 songs, and the "aye aye aye it's Christmas" third world song. These songs make me want to scream
Even worse, worse than all of them, is "Do they know it's Christmas". Yes, I complained about this song last year, but I think it needs to be mentioned again for those who missed my previous rant.
Most Christmas songs talk about peace on earth, love for other people, being with family, enjoying food, or at least promote a sense of joy and peace. Not this one. This one seems to want to take every Western person out and beat them to death for daring to be happy and celebrate.
Here's the lyrics broken down with my commentary:
It's Christmastime
There's no need to be afraid
Nothing about Christmas ever made me feel afraid, not until these morons brought up the subject. It just doesn't make any sense.
At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmastime
It looks like they mean forget about your own families, your own communities, your own countries; you need to throw your arms around the WORLD. Do they really mean the whole world though? They're not exactly crying out to help brave, little Israel here. No, they'll get to whom they really want you to worship shortly.
But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones
At Christmastime it's hard, but when you're having fun
In other words, How dare you have fun?
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging
chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
Merry Christmas! Fa la la la la la la la la!
This has to be the most uplifting, joyous Christmas song ever! The other songs just don't have enough
dread and
fear! No way Frosty the snowman or Rudolf the red nosed reindeer can compete with
chimes of doom!
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime

Wait, wait, did they just say that's a great gift, after they mentioned the
chimes of doom?
(Oooh) Where nothing ever grows
No rain nor rivers flow
Guess they never heard of the rainy season, and the Nile? Oh yeah... that just um, doesn't exist, right?
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?
They're too busy scarifying young three year olds to care.
(Here's to you) raise a glass for everyone
(Here's to them) underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?
Translation: "While you celebrate, drink wine, and be merry, they suffer under a burning sun. Don't you feel good now?"
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again
This is world wide socialism that is being called for. The West should not go out of their way to put money in African dictator's pockets!
