Business as usual

So I hear on some random calendar, we turn a page
I watch them do ho ho ho and praise a coca cola figure
They call him Santa Claus, he came from the North
Some praise a Jesus, an imaginary dead guy with a cross
Others dance around naked for the winter solstice
Others call it Yule
I say, it's business as usual.

The zoo keepers, bankers and other priests
Will not tell me when and how to party
Self made I remain.

I am sorry my friend, but I don't believe in nothing no more,
I heard all your prayers, your lies and escuses,
Nowadays, I watch actions and that's enough.
I gotta say, I am one of those that mostly dislikes them hollidays
No matter what diferent masks they wear around the world
Circus and trained monkeys isn't my favorite art form
Cause, animal abuse is not a pretty sight.

The zoo keepers, bankers and other priests
Will not tell me when and how to party
Self made I remain.

Oh, believe me, I tried
Went to the top of the world and praised the Buddhas and the guy with an elephant head
Walked around chanting om mane padme om,
Bring the money home, as the locals say
Did the mantras with the parrots
Holy praise Da Lie Lamas and cia new agers
Ate with Saddhus and other nihilists,
Even ripped of a few tourists myself
Visited the most beautiful mosaic temples
And ate enough sand to keep me alseep for a few life times
Sat on my ass, zen zen zen, don't explode, they told me
And all I saw was business as usual.

The zoo keepers, bankers and other priests
Will not tell me when and how to party
Self made I remain.

So for those that celebrate something, a dead roman empire,
A galactic federation and other imaginary friends
Mickey mouse and  nwo company
I whish you all the best
Be merry and never forget
None of us comes out of this mess alive
So, all I can say is enjoy,
Enjoy the ride, and try not to be too much of an asshole
Just in case you gotta be an asshole,
Be the best asshole you can be
Cause, remember, what goes around, comes around,
Karma bank is business as usual.
