[Verse 1] Started playing carols back in mid-November, Spent my wages on things no one will remember, Got a tree from Tesco, half the lights don't work, Tangled up in tinsel going berserk. [Verse 2] Family's driving down from miles away, Uncle's getting tipsy, got too much to say, Auntie's asking questions that I can't answer, While I'm pouring wine like it's the only answer. [Pre-Chorus] Oh, they promised us a perfect day, But it never quite works out that way. [Chorus] 'Cause Christmas is a battlefield, Where nothing ever goes to plan, Turkey's dry and tempers fly, But we're doing the best we can, Yeah, Christmas is a battlefield, Fighting through the fairy lights, But when it's done and we look back, Somehow it all feels right. [Verse 3] Supermarket's mental, people everywhere, Fighting over crackers like we're millionaires, Someone took my parking spot right at the door, This is what they call the season to be thankful for. [Verse 4] Kids are going crazy, sugar's in their veins, Watching the same movie for the hundredth time again, Toys need batteries that I forgot to buy, Should've been prepared but I don't know why I try. [Pre-Chorus] Oh, they sell us perfect holiday dreams, But it's never quite as good as it seems. [Chorus] 'Cause Christmas is a battlefield, Where nothing ever goes to plan, Turkey's dry and tempers fly, But we're doing the best we can, Yeah, Christmas is a battlefield, Fighting through the fairy lights, But when it's done and we look back, Somehow it all feels right. [Bridge] And maybe that's the beauty in the mess we make, The burnt potatoes and the Christmas cake, The arguments, the laughter, and the tears, The memories we'll carry through the years, So bring on the chaos, bring on the noise, 'Cause that's what makes this more than just some toys. [Final Chorus] Yeah, Christmas is a battlefield, But I wouldn't change a thing, The madness and the mayhem, That's what the season brings, Yeah, Christmas is a battlefield, But we're still standing strong, And next year we'll do it all again, 'Cause this is where we belong. [Outro] So here's to the disasters and the family fights, The plastic trees and broken Christmas lights, It's beautiful chaos, wouldn't have it any other way, Merry Christmas to you, let's survive another day.
