I am not going to go into a long post about the birth of Christ. There are enough of those entries all over the web. I am going to post one song, the lyrics, and let you all think about that instead.
Oi! To The World
The Vandals
Haji was a punk just like any other boy and
He never had no trouble until he started up his oi band,
Safe in the garage or singing in the tub.
`Til haji went to far and he plugged in at the pub
`Twas a cold Christmas eve when Trevor and the skins
Popped in for a pint and to nick a back of crisps
Trevor liked the music but not the unity
So he unwound haji’s turban and knocked him to his knees
If god came down on Christmas day
I know exactly what He’d say
He’d say “Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins
But Oi to the world and everybody wins!”
Haji was a bloody mess, he ran out thru the crowd
He said “we’ll meet again we are bloody but not unbowed”
Trevor called his bluff and told him where to meet Christmas day
On the roof down 20 oxford street
If God came down on Christmas day i know exactly what He’d say
He’d say “Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins
But Oi to the world and everybody wins!”
On the roof with the nunchucks Trevor broke a lot of bones
But Haji had a sword like that guy in Indiana Jones
Police sirens wailing, a bloody dying man
Haji was alone and abandoned his band
Trevor was there fading and still so full of hate
When the skins left him there and went down the fire escape
But then haji saw the north star shining more then ever
So he made a tourniquet from his turban saving Trevor
They rappelled down the roof with the rest of the turban
And went back to the pub where they bought each other bourbon
If God came down on Christmas day
I know exactly what He’d say
He’d say “Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins
But Oi to the world and everybody wins!”
That’s it folks. Have a Merry Christmas, don’t gorge yourselves, remember those less fortunate, and above all remember the reason for the season.
