[Verse 1] Tinsel tangles like a soldier's snare Turkey's dry but nobody dares Say the words The truth's too sharp Pass the wine Defuse the sparks [Prechorus] Laughter's a truce Fragile and thin But the cracks Oh they begin [Chorus] Christmas is a battlefield Love wrapped up in a paper shield Happiness fights Arguments yield Christmas is a battlefield [Verse 2] Grandma's glare is a silent grenade Dad’s bad jokes like a cheap charade Snow falls soft but the tension's loud Peace is lost in the festive crowd [Prechorus] The carols try to drown the fight But war breaks out by candlelight [Chorus] Christmas is a battlefield Love wrapped up in a paper shield Happiness fights Arguments yield Christmas is a battlefield
