Child - “Hey Mr Nihilist, Do you believe in Santa Claus”
Nihilist - “No Donny, we don’t believe in anything at all”h
Our spirit has
No bearing
On life’s truth
Or meaning
Simply having a nihilistic Christmastime (x2)
Are presents
An abstraction?
If they exist
We must question
Simply having a nihilistic Christmastime (x2)
The choir of emos sing their song…
…who cares, who cares, who cares
As nihilists we think the guitar solos are pointless. So instead here’s some silence to allow you reflect on the futility of existence
Simply finding that truth has no meaning (at Christmas) x
Simply pointing, out that there’s no point (more eggnog) x
Simply turning, sin into virtue (under mistletoe) x
Simply stretching our total disarray (time for clementine?) x
Simply doing ephemeral action (anyone for charades?)
Simply smiling at how we don’t exist... x
...but your boxing day hangover probably will feel like it exists

I was tryng to watch Love Actually
When you started to argue counter factually
That we don’t tell the truth at Christmastime
And that absolute truth is a failed paradigm
—-
I said let’s get a tree and enjoy the Yule thus
You said “there is no tree, our senses fool us”
Now I doubt the truth of my own eye
And question the existence of this mince pie
[Break]
I don’t want a life of unknowable elements
I just want a surprise when I open my presents
I want to listen for Santa and his reindeers
Not be a walking shadow that nobody hears…. Because…
Last Christmas you quoted Descartes
But the very next day
rational thought went away
This year, nihilism appeared
With carols from Jean Paul Sartre
When you start talking existentially
I feel redundant, like Andrew Ridgeley

Are you hanging up Voltaire on the wall
It’s the time Immanuel Kant likes to call
Does your Nietzsche always tell you
That of meaning, life's bereft
Then he's up philosophizing with the best
So here it is Merry Christmas
You’ve received a Christmas card
Saying “mourn for your future”
Signed Søren Kierkegaard
Are you thinking subjectivity is truth
Do you pine for the reflective age of youth?
Do you ride with Albert Camus
Nestled by your side?
Is the existential, intellectual suicide.
As the. Nihilist pretenders run and hide
Chorus
What will your daddy do when he sees your momma reading Fredrick Heigel

Welcome to the 12 steps of Christmas
Step 1 - Add Christmas spice to every single drink
Step 2 - Refuse to watch Die Hard at any other time of year
Step 3 - Make your elf on a shelf the bad man on Instagram
Step 4 - Consume anything left out for Santa, because “he’s on a diet”
Step 5 - Don’t eat the Bountys in the box of celebrations
Step 6 - Add Killing In The Name to all festive playlists
Step 7 - if you must have sprouts then please deep fry them
Step 8 - Watch Hermes lose every single parcel
Step 9 - Then go last minute shopping for everything at Tescos
Step 10 - Pringle early, Pringle often, pringle again
Step 11 - Don’t pour milk, pour Baileys on your Rice Krispies
Step 12 - Watch Christmas Eastenders for some festive misery
Or ignore everything I say, because that’s the nihilists way
Nihilist Navidad
You can celebrate it whenever you like
Enjoy your Christmas how you want
There’s no rules you must obey

David Goody Coventry, UK
Combining bizarre ideas, ridiculous rhymes & strange musical instruments gives you:
David Goody - absurd comic song
creator.
In a world of bland ballads and prosaic lyrics there is a need for more music about hypnotised chickens, quantum physics, biscuit psychology, fascist fruit and the Coventry inner city ring road.
