God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen / Mama Lyrics

God rest ye merry gentlemen

Let nothing you dismay

Remember Christ, our savior

Was born on Christmas Day

To save us all from Satan's power

When we were gone astray

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

Mama, we're all full of lies

Mama, we're meant for the flies

And right now, they're building a coffin your size

Mama, we're all full of lies

And when we go, don't blame us

Yeah

We let the fires just bathe us

Yeah

You made us all so famous

We'll never let you go

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

Well, mother what the war did to my legs and to my tongue

You should've raised a baby girl

I should've been a better son

If you could coddle the infection, they could amputate at once

You should've been, I should've been a better son

"Fear not" then said the angel

"Let nothing you a-fright

This day is born a savior of a pure virgin bright

To free all those who trust in him from Satan's power and might"

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

She said you ain't no son of mine

For what you've done they're

Gonna find

A place for you

And just you mind your manners when you go

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

And if you would call me your sweetheart

I'd maybe then sing you a song

But the shit that I've done

With this fuck of a gun

You would cry out your eyes all along

We're damned after all

Now to the lord sing praises

Through fortune and flame we fall

All you within this place

And if you can stay, then I'll show you the way

And with true love and brotherhood

To return from the ashes you call

Each other now embrace

We all carry on

This holy tide of Christmas

When our brothers in arms are gone

All other's doth deface

So raise your glass high for tomorrow we die

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
