Green Christmas (Fire Santa and Hire Greta)
Bruce Enloe - 2021

All I want for Christmas… And I don’t think it's too much to ask…
Is for an empowered centralized world government…to impose a universal carbon tax!
Let’s hire Greta Thunberg to take over for Santa Claus - cuz i think that she’d be up for the task
Of delivering a Christmas gift for everyone… of an immediate moratorium…
on the extraction of all fossil fuels including coal… oil… and natural gaaass….

Let's fire Santa and hire Greta…
Santa’s had a good run run but Greta’s … betta
She'd do a damn good job if we would… let her…
We should fire Santa… and hire Greta…

I’m dreaming of a greener Christmas this year, so please listen to my rant…
I’d rather have coal in my stocking than another coal fired power plant…
Instead of some messy messianic birthday… let’s double down on earth day…
We all want to do better but we can’t
until we take that bloated symbol of… the excess we’ve all come to love…
And kick him square in the seat of his big red pants

Santa Claus is the spirit of giving and that certainly has its place
But Greta’s cause is a gift we give to the entire human race!
I know it’s all a bit much for a single Swedish teenage girl
But this ain’t candy-canes and mistletoe, it’s the future of the world
That jingle bell is ringing friends… and it’s ringing loud and clear!
Let’s toss out the old fat guy on his ear…

Now before you tell me to can it… imagine chestnuts roasting on an… open planet
No matter how you scan it… that’s not good…
Let’s do the hard thing we don’t want to… but we should…

(carbon neutral, if we want it!)
