Merry Xmas, War Is Over (If You Want It)

[Intro]
Yeah...
Look around you.
Lights on the trees, blood on the leaves.
Merry Christmas... I guess.

[Verse 1]
So this is Christmas, and what have you done?
Besides spending money on a plastic gun for your son?
Another year over, and a new one just begun
But the battles we fightin', man, they ain't never won.
We decorate the halls while the homeless freeze
Praying to a God on our battered knees
I hope you have fun, yeah, I hope you feel bright
While another mother cries in the dead of the night.
For the near and the dear one, the old and the young
For the songs of the freedom that will never be sung.

[Chorus]
A very Merry Christmas!
And a happy New Year!
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear!

[Verse 2]
And so this is Christmas, for weak and for strong
For the rich popping bottles who think they belong
For the poor in the gutter who been waiting too long
Look at the news, tell me, why the world is so wrong?
We scream "War is Over" but the tanks still roll
Devil in a suit coming to collect his toll.
For black and for white, yeah, we say it's all love
But we shooting at the hawk while we crying for the dove.
For yellow and red ones, let's stop all the fight
But we create the darkness just to sell you the light!

[Chorus]
A very Merry Christmas!
And a happy New Year!
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear!

[Bridge]
War is over?
(If you want it...)
Is it really over?
(If you want it...)
Or is it just starting?
(If you want it...)
WAKE UP!

[Verse 3]
Listen!
I said War is Over if you want it to be
But you gotta break the chains if you wanna be free!
Don't wait for a sign, don't wait for a star
The battlefield ain't distant, it's right where you are!
In your head, in your home, in the street, in the cold
It's the same old story that we always been told.
So Merry Christmas to the ones who survive
Keep your head up, keep the fire alive!
Cause we ain't going nowhere, we standing right here
Facing the mirror without any fear!
Let's go!

[Chorus]
A very Merry Christmas! (Yeah!)
And a happy New Year! (Happy New Year!)
Let's hope it's a good one (Make it a good one!)
Without any fear! (No fear! No fear!)

[Outro]
War is over.
If you want it.
It's just a choice, man.
Just a choice.
Peace.
[End]
