Most appropriate song for this Brave New Christmas?
my vote:

I Believe in Father Christmas
Greg Lake

(Greg Lake/ Peter Sinfield)

They said there'll be snow at Christmas,
They said there'll be peace on earth,
But instead it just kept on raining,
A veil of tears for the Virgin birth.

I remember one Christmas morning,
The Winter's light and a distant choir,
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell,
And eyes full of tinsel and fire.

They sold me a dream of Christmas,
They sold me a silent night,
They told me a fairy story,
'Til I believed in the Israelite.

And I believed in Father Christmas,
And I looked to the sky with excited eyes,
Then I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn,
And I saw him and through his disguise.

I wish you a hopeful Christmas,
I wish you a brave New Year,
All anguish, pain and sadness,
Leave your heart and let your road be clear.

They said there'd be snow at Christmas,
They said there'd be peace on earth,
Hallelujah! Noel!, be it Heaven or Hell,
The Christmas we get, we deserve.

1. Probably just for the title...
Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight) by the Ramones.

4. Santa Claus is coming to town
you better watch out...
he sees you when you're sleeping...
knows if you've been bad or good...

etc.

5. You're A Mean One, Mr. Bush
You're A Mean One, Mr. Bush

http://bootnewt.tripod.com/youreameanonemrbush.htm

You're a mean one, Mister Bush.
You really are a heel.
You walked right into the White House
With a win that wasn't real
Mister Bu...ush!
You're trying to roll back advancements
from Clinton back to the New Deal!

You're a monster, Mister Bush.
Your heart's an empty hole.
Your brain is full of nothing
And you think you've saved your soul
Mister Bu...ush!

You're dumber than Dan Quayle
and meaner than Bob Dole!

You're a vile one, Mister Bush.
You drip blood from your smile.
You have all the real compassion of Steve Irwin's crocodile
Mister Bu...ush!

Given no choice by your fascism, you want...
People to say "Heil!"

You're a foul one, Mister Bush.
You're a nasty, wasted skunk.
Or economy is ruined with your side-of-supply junk
Mister Bu...ush!

The three words that best describe your words, and I quote:
"Lies! False! Bunk!"

You're a liar, Mister Bush.
You're the king of sinful sots.
Where are those big, bad awful weapons
You say Saddam Hussein's gots
Mister Bu...ush?

And if Iraq was about 9/11, you've provided no proof that ties...
Saddam to those plots.

You nauseate me, Mister Bush
From head down to my shoes.
You're as hooked on oil and money as you used to be on booze
Mister Bu...ush!

And on the second of November...
You... are... going... to... loooo...ose!

(oh well)
