We had a gang, we hung by the water
We all really liked to fish
It was the mutual admiration society I'd always wished

CHORUS:
Merry Christmas
My name is Santa
If you adore me
I will save ya

There was a time when the neighbourhood
Was a playground of tramps and thieves
And it seemed everybody was screwing
Anybody they would please

We ran around like banshees
We were going to change it all in just one day
We didn't listen cause we knew we were right
And you know we had alot to say

CHORUS

There was a tour, it only lasted a week
Before they shut us down and threw us in jail
I guess they thought I might have been a menace
A violent wind in a rebellious sail

Through the trial the media was a frenzy
They had the guilty flag unfurled
They wrote a book that ended up in a drawer
Beside every bed around the world

CHORUS
