Joy to the World Lyrics by HappyHappy

God vs. Santa Claus EP

2015

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own
More than you will ever know
Make my dreams come true
'Cause all I want for Christmas is...

Not to think about killing myself every chance I get
I wanna be self-sufficient and stop smoking cigarettes
And I wanna find a pretty girl so I'm not lonely anymore
But everybody fuckin' knows that's more than I deserve

And I don't wanna feel these feelings that I am feeling towards you
They say as long as I feel healthy, there is nothing wrong with what I do
This is my first Christmas since the first one that I had
Where I am missing loved ones and I'm not loved and it hurts so bad

And I wonder what it's like to get hit by a train
Would it hurt for a long time?
Or would the pain be quick and sharp so I forget about it as it happens
And if I did it would I close my eyes?

But I believe in God like my parents believe in Santa Claus
They just pretend for my sister
There's not a lot of good things that happen after you turn sixteen
They mostly involve getting fucked up and forgetting you're alive

They say that money can't buy happiness but they don't know what it's like
Not to eat for days on end and constantly wishing that you would die, and
I would like to be able to afford everything you ever wanted
But I can barely afford anything like a combo meal at McDonald's

More people kill themselves in December than any other month
But that's so fucking stupid, that's a statistic and I refuse to be one
But I wish things would get better, if only just for me
'Cause everyone else can just fuck right off 'cause I'm selfish and I have a right to be

And I wonder what it's like to get hit by a train
Would it hurt for a long time?
Or would the pain be quick and sharp so I forget about it as it happens
And if I did it would I close my eyes?

'Cause I believe in God like my parents believe in Santa Claus
They just pretend for my sister
There's not a lot of good things that happen after you turn sixteen
They mostly involve getting fucked up and forgetting you're alive

And joy to the world
The world is ending
And I wanna watch it fucking burn

And joy to the world
The world is ending
And I wanna watch it fucking burn

Well joy to the world
The world is ending
And I wanna watch it fucking burn

Well joy to the world
The world is ending
And I wanna watch it fucking burn

Well I wonder what it's like to get hit by a train
Would it hurt for a long time?
Or would the pain be quick and sharp so I forget about it as it happens
And if I did it would I close my eyes?

But I believe in God like my parents believe in Santa Claus
They just pretend for my sister
And not a lot of good things that happen after you turn sixteen
They mostly involve getting fucked up and forgetting you're alive
