[Verse 1]
Stringing lights with your bottle of booze
Fingers-crossed you won't blow a fuse
Family fights and the weekly blues
Is that all it is to you?

[Verse 2]
Early nights 'cause you get off late
Tired eyes at a quarter of eight
Trying hard to avoid the flue
Is that all it is to you?

[Pre-Chorus]
Trying not to be bitter
But it sneaks in like a spy
Trying not to be a quitter
But it's harder every time

[Verse 3]
Netflix and a TV dinner
Mom says that you're looking thinner
Walmart made your Christmas dream
Is that all it needs to be?

[Chorus]
Alive on Christmas
Don't you know that it's more than just an American business
A well-oiled, money machine?
Don't you know what it really means to be
Alive on Christmas?

[Verse 4]
Red porcelain Santa Claus
Passed down from your old and lost
[?] lights with a festive hue
Is that all it is to you?

[Verse 5]
Sundown at 4pm
You're wishing it was June again
Another drink and it's off to sleep
Is that all it means to be
[Chorus]
Alive on Christmas
Don't you know that it's more than just an American business
A well-oiled, money machine?
Don't you know what it really means to be
Alive on Christmas
Don't you know that it's more than just an American business
A well-oiled, money machine?
Don't you know what it really means to be
Alive on Christmas?

[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
More than a clay manger
If that's all you think than you're in danger
It's time to see life in the eyes of Love
It's time to find hope in God above

[Chorus]
Oh, it's Christmas
And don't you know that it's more than an American business
A well-oiled, money machine?
Don't you know what it really means to be
Alive on Christmas?
