This Christmas
Set It Off Lyrics

Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Putting up Christmas decorations

Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Singing Christmas songs

Tis the season to be jolly,
The festive season is a time to be happy

Oh my God, it's here, this awful time of year
The artist hates Christmas time

How I hate the snow is falling
The artist hates the snow

Wealthy neighbors bragging about the gifts they're getting
The artist's neighbors are bragging about their expensive gifts

Jack! They say, let me see your gifts now! You're getting K-Mart clothes!
The neighbors are teasing the artist for getting cheap gifts

And then, I had a revelation!
The artist has an idea

This is my chance to sew their lips clean shut with fear
The artist plans to punish his neighbors for teasing him

Because
Explaining why the artist plans to do what he does

This Christmas, I'll burn it to the ground!
The artist plans to burn his neighborhood down on Christmas

This Christmas, Santa skipping town!
Santa will not come to the neighborhood this year

This Christmas, everything will change when they see the flames!
The artist wants to see his neighbors' reactions when he burns down their neighborhood

This Christmas day!
On Christmas Day

Christmas lights alive, lighting up the night
The neighborhood is lit up with Christmas lights

Meanwhile I'm inside my room, conniving though the cheer and laughter that resumes
The artist is planning his revenge inside his room while everyone else is in a festive mood

Tonights the night, I have to do it right now!
The artist has decided to commit his crime tonight

So, I will strike when all's asleep
The artist plans to burn the neighborhood while everyone is asleep

And creep, sneaking through your chimney!
The artist plans to sneak into his neighbors' houses through their chimneys

Saint Nick is gone for now
Santa will not appear this Christmas

Up on the housetop, gifts are mine!
The artist plans to steal his neighbors' gifts

Kiss your Christmas tree goodbye!
The artist plans to burn down Christmas trees as well

Oh, make fun of me, will you?!
The artist is angry at his neighbors for teasing him

Well I'll show you what true misery feels like!
The artist plans to make his neighbors feel miserable

You see, that's why I'm the one sad!
The artist is sad because of his neighbors' behavior

Everything burns!
Everything will burn down

Hey everyone! Look outside your window! I have a surprise for you!
The artist is letting his neighbors know about his plan

Imagine this!
The artist is describing his plan

One thousand gifts, and sixteen trees all lay in a heave in a cul-de-sac
There are many gifts and Christmas trees in the neighborhood

I strike my match, and I drench the trail of gasoline
The artist is preparing to burn everything down

This Christmas
On Christmas

I'm ending the game
The artist is ending his neighbors' arrogance

What a crying shame
It's a shame that the neighborhood will burn down
