The Vandals - I Dont Believe In Santa Claus

      [Intro]

Uh, the reason I didn't get you anything this year is-is because...


[Verse 1]
        E
I don't believe in Santa Claus
                           G
His corporate image forced upon
E
The blinded spending masses
                       G
To enslave the lower classes
       E
With obligatory gifts that serve
                                  G
To cleanse the year of guilt and shame
E                                          G
One token gesture justifies the apathetic, hypnotized
E               F#                G       D#
Leaving them to be Kris Kringle's slaves (Ooh)


[Bridge]
E    E    C          B
Buy! Buy! I won't do it!
    D                           D#
The season's obligation has not my participation!
E    E    C          B
Buy! Buy! I won't do it!
    D                           D#
The money hungry mating call of corporate swine

 G                             C
'Cause it's only for the money!
         G                  C
And it's only for the money!
            G            C
'Cause it's only for the money!
    E
Now buy!


[Verse 2]
E
He monitors naughty and nice
                   C
Big Brother is St. Nick
F#                                               C
Methodically his judgment made documented on his list
E                                              C
I don't believe in Santa Claus or his mystical facade
E
To teach the children wanton greed

Their lust for gifts becomes a need
F#
Brainwashed by the marketing

And victims of the corporate scheme
A
Material possessions becoming their obsessions
 B
'Till human life has lost it's value

And you blindly do just what they tell you

E
I don't believe!

E (Scratch it like Crass)
His tactics of intimidation repress the minds of youth

Using fear for generations -- his image hides the truth

He's just a puppet for the system; a glutton in a suit
      G             C#         E
With yuletide propaganda and a bearded mask to boot!


[Outro]

Uh, that, and I couldn't find a place to park at the mall. Sorry
