Humbug in Excelsus
A new god is stalking the wintertime solstice,
He knows who you are, he’s checking his list.
For Greenland and Finland, a new holy war –
And pilgrimage grottos in every large store.
So want, children, want – believe in the glamour –
Your faith is his power, your wishes his manna.
So buy, parents, buy, dash yonder and hither –
He’ll lift not a finger, yet always deliver.
