I'll Be Broke for Christmas

lyrics

I’ll Be Broke for Christmas
I won’t have a dime
I don’t know when I’ll be home
I have to work overtime

The Christmas Tree overflowing
With the gifts I bought
Spoils of war from the store
For which I desperately fought

I’ll be sore for Christmas
Hopeless and beat down
I can’t afford anymore
Sorry to let you down

We all know for Christmas
That expensive gifts display
All our love and how we feel
For a price that we must pay

Retail slaves won’t find it
hard to hate these days
They’ll push themselves to stock those shelves
And not even make a living wage

Black Friday will rob them
Of a special day with family and friends
No time off, they’ll punch those clocks
To satiate the consumeristic trends

I’ll be broke for Christmas
Gotta buy a fancy gift for everyone
Wrack my brain, bank account will drain
Til the holidays are no fun

I’ll be broke for Christmas
Just look under the tree
I’ll be broke for Christmas
Just look at the receipts
