Family By The Fireside

Family by the fireside
Three dead bodies in a row
Lit up by the Christmas lights
Bathed in an unearthly glow

Tell me now is it a crime
to simply have a morbid Christmas time?

Cant afford to pay the piper
For cremation services
Sat round in just a diaper
The fire serves two purposes

Tell me how is it a crime to
Simply have a morbid Christmas time?

Secret santa, secret satan
Bodies wrapped up in a row
Had enough of all this hatred
Once fire's roaring, in they go ...

well ok, yes, it was a crime to
simply have a dreadful Christmas time!

Family By The Fireside
Pigfarmer Jr

They never tell you growing old
Will be so very tough
Losing everybody that
You have ever loved
I have lost my loving wife
I've lost my best friend
I swear it seems most every week
I've lost someone again

My favorite grandma passed away
Fifty years ago
We all said we'd miss her then
We put her in a hole
Most days I would join her
And leave this life behind
I'm ready to walk into the next
To see what I will find

I used to like to see the gifts
Under the Christmas tree
But now I wish that everyone
Would go away and let me be
I hate this time of year

They never tell you growing old
Will be so very tough
Losing everybody that
You have ever loved
So please don't ever ask me
To bring the joy or cheer
'Cause I don't have a family by
The fireside this year
I don't have a family by
The fireside this year
