Jesus Gets Nothing for Christmas
[Verse 1: Hank Green]
Oh boys and girls, it's that time of year again
It's time to show off all our generosity to our friends
We've been waiting for three hundred sixty four
Days in which we've been real good and done all of our chores

But I think that it's important that we think of those out there
To whom we do not give presents even though we really care

[Chorus]
Cause there's just one man who gets nothing each year
Even though he hasn't been bad
How he longs to hear Santa's reindeer
But he never has, and yeah, that makes him sad;
He never has, and yeah, that makes him sad

Cause everyone thinks of Jesus on the eve of Christmas
But no one ever thinks to put him on their list
So Jesus gets nothing for Christmas
Yes, Jesus gets nothing for Christmas

[Verse 2: Hank Green]
When he was a boy, back in Galilee
He never got presents; cause Christmas didn't exist, you see
And now that he's grown, nobody guessed
That he really wants that 24-piece metric drill bit set
Jesus is a carpenter, you know that that is true
And he's tired of using 2000 year old tools

[Chorus]
Just because he's the man who gets nothing each year
Even though he hasn't been bad
How he longs to hear Santa's reindeer
But he never has, and yeah, that makes him sad;
He never has, and yeah, that makes him sad

You know, everyone thinks of Jesus on the eve of Christmas
But no one ever thinks to put him on their list
So Jesus gets nothing for Christmas
Jesus gets nothing for Christmas

[Verse 3: Hank Green]
All he wants is World peace
But he also really likes the look of that new Old Navy fleece
And yeah, he wants to end violence and war
But he also kinda wants to try out Grand Theft Auto IV

He gets no milk and cookies like that fat Santa Claus does
He's the reason for the season but he's always sad

[Chorus]
Because he is the one man who gets nothing each year
Even though he hasn't been bad
How he longs to hear Santa's reindeer
But he never has, and yeah, that makes him sad;
He never has, and yeah, that makes him sad
Because everyone thinks of Jesus on the eve of Christmas
But no one ever thinks to put him on their list
So Jesus gets nothing for Christmas
Jesus gets nothing for Christmas

Jesus just doesn't know what to do
He doesn't want to seem like an ungrateful youth
And the worst part is it's his birthday too
And Jesus gets nothing for Christmas
