Secular Christmas Blues Lyrics

Every year it's the same

When Christmas songs begin to play

The ice and snow, the candles glow

The old familiar way

So lift up your voice

But first you've got to make a choice

Of what to sing, when everything's

About a certain baby boy

You might say that's expected

Now we celebrate his birth

But the one truth I've neglected

Is that I don't go to church

I'm a Christmas liar

You won't see me at Mass, you won't see me in choir

It's a Christmas sin

No religion for me, I just like all the hymns

I'm singing of angels and shepherds of old

And mangers and cattle and perfumes and gold

I'm a Christmas sham

But these songs are so pretty, and so here I am

I confess that I sing

Of bells I don't intend to ring

There's no hate

I don't mind faith

It's just not my thing

It's not that I'm against it

Those holy things on high

From all I hear about him

Jesus is a stand-up guy

I'm just not much for churches

And bread and veils and wine

I hope it's still all right though

To sing of the divine

I'm a Christmas liar

You won't see me at Mass, you won't see me in choir

It's a Christmas sin

No religion for me, I just like all the hymns

I'm singing of angels and shepherds of old

And mangers and cattle and perfumes and gold

I'm a Christmas sham

But these songs are so pretty, and so here I am
