Pine rolled like reefers lie on Avenue A Winds whipping pant legs and needling cheeks Hipsters walk with holy shoulders shrugged round bowed head Looking freshly plucked and ready to be tucked into bed Christmas ain't nowhere when yr down to a dime Day's pay away from the church breadline Hungrily watching people spend a c-note a pop And you got less than half of what the have-nots have got And this ain't a sad song about class and Jesus Christ It's a plain look in the face of a dark night A trifle that the wife'll understand It's hard to be an angel when you love a bad, bad man My hands're shaking now and it's no longer cold Remembering Christmas when I was but a few years old And all those happy hopes and dreams felt like they could come true If only I believed now in the things I then knew You and me bub, shall we sing a jolly song? Maybe get some of these bastards here to join in and sing along It's a hard world where cash is king and true love is on the wane But we're all less different than we are all the same Can we get it back, is it too late? Can tonight be the start of new and better days? It won't take a miracle just something small and sincere Can it happen now, can it happen here? Hark, the bad man and the angels sing
