Lyrics
Intro
It's that rancid season, malls crawling with disease
Plastic snow is choking me, fake cheer on repeat
Beneath the blinking nightmare, spend your guts and run
Corporate claws out early, game of wallet roulette begun
Verse 1
I park six miles away because the vultures swoop for spots
Every shopping cart is busted, every aisle a firing squad
Parents fighting over legos, kids grinding filthy floors
F*** your silent night, I hear alarms behind each door
Pre-Chorus
Santa's on the payroll, wringing out my pride
Elf drones counting receipts, dreams already died
Chorus
Christmas time is coming, so I gotta hit the store
Everywhere I go, people fighting on the floor
All these plastic Santas, they're staring at my soul
My wallet screaming mercy, but spending's out of control
Verse 2
I grab a toy, it's marked up twice, what the hell is this?
The checkout line's a mile long, every shopper's pissed
Someone bumps my cart while stuffing socks into their coat
Are we celebrating kindness or just trying to stay afloat?
Pre-Chorus
All I want's a cheap escape without a missing limb
But the deals are just a scam, and my patience running thin
Chorus
Do I look like I'm made of cash, you know these prices bite
I'd rather eat a bucket of snow than fight this crowd tonight
Corporate elves, they laugh at me as receipts spill from my hands
But I'm forced to drop my paycheck in this twisted winter land
Verse 3
Gift wrap's fifty bucks a roll, who the **** decided that?
Tiny socks for twenty bucks, this mall's run by rats
A Christmas playlist blaring, I can't take another tune
If one more brat is screaming, I will launch myself to the moon
Pre-Chorus
All the holiday cheer means debts that never quit
I came here for one present—and I'm leaving with just lint
Verse 4
I step in dog crap in the lot, just salt in the wound
Some clown blocks the exit, blaring car horns out of tune
They say giving is the spirit, but my patience has snapped
If Santa saw this mess, he'd tell us all to get slapped
Bridge
F*** these tangled lights that never even work
F*** this ugly sweater, itchy as a curse
F*** these last-minute deals that screw me either way
Maybe Christmas spirit's just a goddamn lie today
Outro
So shove your holiday coupons where the snow don't fall
I'm maxed out, burned out, and I'm hating Deck the Halls
Next year I'm hibernating, let the madness fade away
Screw your Christmas shopping, I'm done—I'm not okay
Extended Outro
F*** your ugly garland, it sheds all over my floor
F*** these gift receipts, never right, always more
All these fake-ass smiles, every shopper's got a knife
If Christmas means this s***, then I've wasted half my life
I haul my flaming temper back to my icebox car
My bank account's a war zone, my credit score's bizarre
Another year destroyed for crap nobody needs
So f*** your holiday specials—I'm out, let me bleed
Final Statement
May your eggnog curdle, and your batteries run dry
This is my last Christmas meltdown—I quit, goodbye
Final Statement
May your eggnog curdle, and your batteries run dry
This is my last Christmas meltdown—I quit, goodbye
Post-Script
Shove your plastic snowmen deep where the sun can’t reach
Your screaming kids deserve coal and a ten-hour screech
Here’s to shredded wrapping paper clogging up my drain
And to every useless gadget I’ll never use again
Last Rant
I hope your tinsel chokes the tree and clogs your f***ing sink
I hope your new pajamas shrink and your fruitcake makes you stink
Your ugly light-up reindeer, your cracked inflatable snow globe
All this holiday garbage can burn with my shredded hopes
Exit Threat
If I hear another jingle, I’ll chew through these wires
If you wish me "joy," I’ll start ten more dumpster fires
So let the sleigh bells rot, let the Christmas cards combust
You keep your filthy presents—leave me alone, that’s a must
Final Meltdown
Here's to punch-drunk parents slugging cider in the lot
Here's to holiday slogans that can rot right on the spot
Screw your peppermint candles and overpriced junk food
I’ll wrap my rage in tinsel—season’s greetings, I’m screwed
Last Straw
If Grandma wants a pudding, she can buy her own damn tin
If anyone wants carols, I’ll just scream instead of sing
You corporate Christmas vampires, suck a candy cane and choke
If one more sale pops up, I’ll smash this mall remote
Hateful Benediction
Merry debt-mas, happy stress, get your sugar-rush disease
May your glitter turn to glue, may your credit freeze
Keep your cheerful hashtags, your holiday abuse
This consumerist disaster’s my final excuse
Absolute Goodbye
Lock me in the garage until the new year’s come and gone
Hide my last mug of cocoa, I'm done—so f*** off and move on
