It’s Christmas time again and everyone is dealing with financial hardships and other realistic problems. Caper & Christian Hart release their thoughts on the “Freek Van Workum” crafted track. lyrics *(Verse 1)* Caper Yo, it’s December but the vibe is cold as ice, Financial crisis got us payin’ that price. Stock market crash like a sleigh without reindeer, Peddlin’ hope while we drown in our fears. Santa’s slippin’, no gifts on my wish list, Survival of the fittest in this capitalist abyss. Fires burnin’, lights flicker like our dreams lost, Hustlin’ hard just to count up what it costs. Greedy hands clutching all they can seize— Politicians puppets bend bending knees; Makin’ deals behind closed doors at night— While families bicker over dinner and fright. Children write letters wishing Santa would care; But he’s just another ghost wrapped up in despair. We reminisce ’bout days filled with magic glow — Now it’s overdraft notices puttin’ us low. Chorus: Jingle bells, jingle bells, in the dead of night Oh, what fear it is to hide from the things that start with might Jingle bells, jingle bells, in the dawn tonight Oh, what dread it is to roam through the darkness filled with fright Verse 2 – (Christian Hart) Tis the season to stack copious amounts of debt Living check to check, stressing about a mess The government promises to clean up But when we notice they ain’t doing it Everybody’s scared to speak up It’s hard on a father trying to provide food, shelter and water Protect your family from marauders Be the supportive backbone Though you’re in a deep depression, also stay strong So your kids don’t see you stressing I’m torn though, I love the songs of Jack Frost But Christmas is less about the Savior on the cross Now you worship Black Friday buying shit you don’t need Gluttonous hypocrites complain about the government greed But I have faith that we can rid ourselves of this aura If we don’t unite then our fate’s Sodom and Gomorrah Chorus: Jingle bells, jingle bells, in the dead of night Oh, what fear it is to hide from the things that start with might Jingle bells, jingle bells, in the dawn tonight Oh, what dread it is to roam through the darkness filled with fright credits released December 3, 2024 Vocals by Caper & Christian Hart.
