Twas the night before Christmas as all through the world
The noises of unrest were being unfurled
The men in Iraq were littering the streets
With bullets and bombs and C5 treats
Children in Africa were dying of Aids
Deadly thin and trembling without even a bed
While women in Iran were hiding their heads
Santas were drinking and laughing instead
In China not too far from the premier's sight
Bird flu's snuffing lives out like a light
Cholera's spreading from no sanitation
Kids are suffering zero education
At the North Pole the bears are sweating
Feeling hot and bothered about global warming
2 thousand years ago Jesus violently died
Now there's still blood this Yuletide
The Gates and Bonos can't do it alone
Bring the Christmas spirit to everyone's home
