Phil Ochs
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Centuries took holidays
2
Before these days
3
Became desperately clear
4
That chariots full of christmas cheer
5
Could never draw the child near
6
But this year
7
One of the last remaining years
8
Santa claus is a sniper
9
On the roof of macy's
10
Picking off the customers
11
Splattering packages
12
And miscellaneous toes
13
Everywhere.
14
Missionaries built milleniums
15
And caravans of cucumbers were exchanged
16
Before the sin of sharing was uncovered
17
And the chocolate bayonets were deranged
18
But this year
19
One of the last remaining years
20
The soul brother reindeer
21
Having nothing but nothing to fear
22
Have destroyed all possessions
23
As the holiest of gifts.
24
Hymns have swallowed histories
25
And faded into love
26
Before a winter full of autumns
27
Had covered up their harmonies
28
But this year
29
Though one of the last remaining years
30
The fading matinee idol
31
Clutching the memories
32
Of his almost unforgettable performance
33
Turns sadly away
34
From the diminishing applause
35
Of his most terrified believers.
