Merry Axe-Mas Lyrics
If you meet Santa Clause tonight boy
You better run for your life
T'was the night before Christmas was just five years old
My parents were butchered in the blistering cold
He seemed jolly at first in his suit stained with red
He let out a laugh but then left us for dead
That scene, so vicious
Taught me the meaning of Christmas
Punish the wicked
Don't ask for Santa's forgiveness
You will believe in me
Slaughtered under the tree
Don't believe a witness
So much for a Merry Christmas
Now Santa's claws are out
The sinners scream and shout
Made sure the noose is yule-tide tight
So much for a silent night
(A silent night)
T'was just three years later now orphaned and bruised
When the hands of the holy inflicted abuse
Tied down and lashed singled out from the pack
Took my season's beatings now it's time to give back
That scene, so vicious
Taught me the meaning of Christmas
Punish the wicked
Don't ask for Santa's forgiveness
You will believe in me
Slaughtered under the tree
Don't believe a witness
So much for a Merry Christmas
Now Santa's claws are out
The sinners scream and shout
Made sure the noose is yule-tide tight
So much for a silent night
(A silent night)
(So now I'm slashing through the snow and the hearse is on its way)
(With the mistletoe tags, thank God it's Christmas day)
I'm making my list, you're a slave to your vice
So I'm gonna find out who's naughty or nice
It's time to wreck the halls, let nothing you dismay
Santa's taking out the trash, it's fucking garbage day
Taking out the trash
Garbage day is today
Taking out the trash
Garbage day is today
Today
You will believe in me
Slaughtered under the tree
Don't believe a witness
So much for a Merry Christmas
Now Santa's claws are out
The sinners scream and shout
Made sure the noose is yule-tide tight
So much for a silent night
(A silent night)
Fa-la-la-la-la
Feliz navi-dead!
You better run for your life
My parents were butchered in the blistering cold
He seemed jolly at first in his suit stained with red
He let out a laugh but then left us for dead
Taught me the meaning of Christmas
Punish the wicked
Don't ask for Santa's forgiveness
Slaughtered under the tree
Don't believe a witness
So much for a Merry Christmas
Now Santa's claws are out
The sinners scream and shout
Made sure the noose is yule-tide tight
So much for a silent night
(A silent night)
When the hands of the holy inflicted abuse
Tied down and lashed singled out from the pack
Took my season's beatings now it's time to give back
Taught me the meaning of Christmas
Punish the wicked
Don't ask for Santa's forgiveness
Slaughtered under the tree
Don't believe a witness
So much for a Merry Christmas
Now Santa's claws are out
The sinners scream and shout
Made sure the noose is yule-tide tight
So much for a silent night
(A silent night)
(With the mistletoe tags, thank God it's Christmas day)
So I'm gonna find out who's naughty or nice
It's time to wreck the halls, let nothing you dismay
Santa's taking out the trash, it's fucking garbage day
Garbage day is today
Taking out the trash
Garbage day is today
Today
Slaughtered under the tree
Don't believe a witness
So much for a Merry Christmas
Now Santa's claws are out
The sinners scream and shout
Made sure the noose is yule-tide tight
So much for a silent night
(A silent night)
Feliz navi-dead!

"Silent Night, Deadly Night is one of my all time favorite slasher flicks," says frontman Spencer Charnas. "In our song and video for 'Merry Axe-Mas,' I wanted to pay tribute to the film's brilliant combination of sleaze, holiday cheer, absurdity and vicious gore. Released in 1984 at the height of the Eighties slasher craze, the film's axe-wielding–Santa marketing campaign threw uptight parents and the PC police into an unholy rage. Angered families staged protests in front of theaters and PTA groups across the country petitioned for the film's banishment. Tri Star pictures subsequently caved and Silent Night, Deadly Night was pulled from theaters after only one week. However, all the negative publicity only fueled the forbidden fruit factor and the infamous film quickly gained cult status. This story just goes to show you that if you try and suppress something, it's only more likely to rear its (decapitated) head."
