Lyrics

It’s such a loathsome holiday 
Gingerbread Shitshow 
I do my best to turn away 
Gingerbread Shitshow T
hey seethe when you refuse to pray
But you’re praying for something  
You could never ever really say   

And when relations come to call 
Gingerbread Shitshow 
They drag you to the shopping mall 
Gingerbread Shitshow 
If you could choose to end your life  
By gun or club or butcher’s knife 
It surely would suffice 

Nattering and chattering 
The bile and spit are splattering 
You do your very best to turn away 
But Uncle Sean is jabbering  
The toxic clouds are gathering 
It's just another fucking holiday  

It's such an awful way to live 
Gingerbread Shitshow 
You’ve given all that you can give 
Gingerbread Shitshow 
So have another drink 
And vomit in the kitchen sink 
And stumble 'round
Like you're the missing link

And so we go our separate ways 
Gingerbread shitshow 
No more lousy holidays 
Gingerbread Shitshow
I’d rather be alone and free 
Than hanging in some family tree 
I guess this is the end of you and me
