about

Well, we made it through another truly weird year.

Here's what I got you for Christmas. Thank you so much for all of your support this year and all the others. Be good to each other out there, and just keep on committing those small acts of decency and kindness that keep the world from plunging into total darkness.

Aloha,
Buck

lyrics

LYRICS:
Well, it’s Christmas again in the Ukrainian winter
With the rockets flying over their heads
While the children all slumber
In an underground bunker
In a suburb outside of Kyiv

Chorus:
If you believe that peace is possible
We can have peace for everyone
If you believe it’s not impossible
We can have peace for everyone in the world

It’s never been colder for a conscripted solider
From a Russian town that nobody knows
He’s got Putin to thank
A soviet era tank
And all he dreams about is just going home

(Chorus)

Cable news agitates
The men in flyover states
Lifting up their hatred like a prayer
So they pledge their allegiance
To irrational grievance
On the way to shooting up the town square

(Chorus)

Would it kill you to say the happiest holidays
Instead of turning christmas into a war
It would be more conducive
To be radically inclusive
Because no one needs the fighting anymore

(Chorus)
