lyrics

Samantha’s got a bag of coal
Mighty soul but i couldn’t find an ego
Dressing up like Santa Claus
She gave it to the bankers
and the others that were evil
Like the cops in this town
Disturbing all the peace
Always bringing everybody down
Why you gotta spoil the fun?
Creating problems
where there are none
I’m singin’ ho ho ho
here’s a chunk of coal
For the overzealous cop
Acting like he’s the gestapo
Ho ho ho here’s a chunk of coal
For the hypocrite
who’s preaching in the church
under the steeple
Ho ho ho here’s a chunk of coal
For the money driven bastards
Putting profits over people
Ho ho ho here’s a chunk of coal
For the rich white frat boy
yelling crap out of car windows
For the overzealous copper
acting like he’s the gestapo
Samantha use to be called Sam
Samantha was a woman
who used to be a man
Trying to find a place
in this world
It’s kinda hard when
the boy becomes the girl
She took it to the west coast side
She got pushed off a bridge
She nearly died
A victim of a hateful crime
The sadness crept in
Samantha took her own life
I’m singing ho ho ho
here’s a chunk of coal
For the overzealous cop
acting like he’s the gestapo
Ho ho ho here’s a chunk of coal
For the hypocrites preaching
in the church under the steeple
Ho ho ho here’s a chunk of coal
For the bankers and the brokers
Ripping off all of the people
Ho ho ho here’s a chunk of coal
For the rich white frat boy
yelling crap out of car windows
For the overzealous cop
Acting like he’s the gestapo
For the greedy bastards
Putting profits over people
Homophobic bigots
Spreading violence on the people
Hoes

Just saw them performing much of this album on their west coast tour. San Diego and Pioneertown dates. Didn’t know any of them lol. I’m all about their old shit but I like this. Playing it more and more. Appreciate the evolution of one of my favorite bands in the world since middle school! 🖤 Red
