Santa won't come this year
cause he has to pay his taxes this year
or pretend to pay
or he could not come next year
because gifts don't slip between iron bars
Santa won't come this year
he has his hands full
and his stomach open
he doesn't need to eat
he absorbs all competition
See Santa won't come any year
because he doesn't live on the north pole
he lives in a Chinese factory
that's why he wears red
and has so many elves
Santa won't come this year
because you've been a naughty boy
because you didn't close your eyes
or have faith in his magic
when he slid down you chimney
and ate all you cookies and drank all your milk
and broke all your toys
because you don't have faith you see
because every good time of yours
has to be build on the aching backs
of people no one will ever see
because Santa never comes any year
he just appears in your eyes
to make you happy
about throwing that little plastic wrapper in the trash
like it won't ever choke you

it's that time of the year again.
this one is a lot more open about its message in every line isn't it.
It was just irresistible to not comment about the irony of portraying Santa, the icon of consumerism and excess, as a figure of hope.
