[Intro]
(yeah)
Twisted sleigh ride
Another ugly sweater night
Candy cane chalk on the curb
And the snow looks ready to fight
[Verse 1 – Jack]
I rose out the graveyard, bone-white king
Got bored of the pumpkins, needed new things
Saw snow on the skyline, red-suit throne
Thought, “Why can’t a skeleton own that zone?”
I stitched my suit, crooked pinstripe dream
Hijacked reindeer, made ’em howl and scream
Wrapped nightmares up with a velvet bow
Dropped skulls in the stockings just to watch ’em glow
[Chorus]
Who stole Christmas?
Was it me, was it you?
Red hat spinnin’ in the black ice blue
Ho-ho-hold up
Streets all twisted
Santa’s chasin’ down a runaway wish list
Who stole Christmas?
Point that glove
At the ghost in the snow or the Grinch up above
Ho-ho-hold up
Lights go black
Santa on a mission tryna bring it all back
[Verse 2 – Grinch]
I been posted in my cave since the first bad jingle
Moldy little heart, antisocial, still single
Watched you clowns fight from the mountain ridge
Like, two weird cousins on a crooked bridge
Jack stole scenes with his bony grin
Santa too soft, keeps lettin’ ’em win
So I slid down chimneys, silent raid
Bag full of joy? Nah, that got played
I snatched their wreaths, their cookies, their cheer
Left sticky notes sayin’ “see you next year”
If misery loves, then misery’s rich
Sign on the line, sincerely, Grinch
[Chorus]
Who stole Christmas?
Was it me, was it you?
Red hat spinnin’ in the black ice blue
Ho-ho-hold up
Streets all twisted
Santa’s chasin’ down a runaway wish list
Who stole Christmas?
Point that glove
At the ghost in the snow or the Grinch up above
Ho-ho-hold up
Lights go black
Santa on a mission tryna bring it all back
[Bridge – Santa]
[Beat drops to muted guitars, half-time feel]
I’m tired of the tantrums, turf war snow
Your petty little chaos in the frosty glow
Kids still wait by the window frame
While you treat this night like a party game
So listen up, Jack, and you too, green fiend
You can rip down tinsel, tear up the scene
But every time hearts beat in the cold night air
Christmas grows back like it doesn’t care
[Breakdown – Call & Response]
[Drums cut, gang vocals]
Who stole it? (you stole it!)
Who broke it? (we broke it!)
Who’s gonna stitch this mess and hold it?
(Santa!)
Who stole it? (we stole it!)
Who owns it? (we own it!)
All that hurt you feel, yeah, we wrote it
[Chorus]
Who stole Christmas?
Was it me, was it you?
Red hat spinnin’ in the black ice blue
Ho-ho-hold up
Streets still twisted
But we’re patchin’ up the pages of the wish list
Who stole Christmas?
Guess it’s us, guess it’s them
Every broken-hearted kid at 4 a.m.
Ho-ho-hold up
We take it back
Three misfits ridin’ on the same sleigh track
[Outro]
Jack on the roof like “long live fright”
Grinch on the slope like “fine, alright”
Santa just laughs, shakes off the slack
“If Christmas got stolen
We’re stealin’ it back”
