Description: According to recent estimates close to 150 billion animals a year are slaughtered worldwide for human consumption, many if not most of those for holidays such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter... So much for spreading the love around. After working on a book with Peter Singer, author of Animal Liberation, How are we to live, and The Life you can Save, I finally became a vegetarian.

lyrics

Have a merry Christmas
Leave your woes behind
Have a happy holiday
Make sure to blow my mind
Holy father Christmas
Leave your foes behind
Bloody Mary Christmas
Party for your life...
Light a billion candles
Burn a billion brights
Save your killer holiday
Take a billion lives
Merry effing Christmas
Shut your eyes so wide
Have a merry Christmas
Don’t let it pass you buy...
Have a merry Christmas
Leave your woes behind
Have a happy holiday
Make sure to blow my mind
Holy father Christmas
Leave your foes behind
Bloody Mary Christmas
Party for your life...
Light a billion candles
Burn a billion brights
Save your killer holiday
Take a billion lives
Merry effing Christmas
Shut your eyes so wide
Have a merry Christmas
It’s time to say good-night.
