I Won't Be Home for Christmas

About I Won't Be Home for Christmas

"I Won't Be Home for Christmas" is a song by American rock band Blink-182. The song was originally recorded and released as a radio promo in 1997. MCA Records reissued it internationally as a single on October 16, 2001. The song was recorded with original drummer Scott Raynor and produced by Mark Trombino, who produced the trio's second studio album, Dude Ranch (1997). The song's title is a parody of the Christmas song "I'll Be Home for Christmas". The single topped the charts in Canada, but it did not chart anywhere else, becoming the longest-running number one single in Canada for 2001. It remained at that position for five weeks in 2001 and for one week in 2002. It is the band's sole Canadian number one. more »

Outside the carolers start to sing
I can't describe the joy they bring
'Cause joy is something they don't bring me

My girlfriend is by my side
Pick her up while hanging sickles of ice
Their whiny voices get irritating
It's Christmas time again

So I stand with a dead smile on my face
Wondering how much of my time they'll waste
Oh god, I hate these Satan's helpers

And then I guess I must have snapped
Because I grabbed a baseball bat
And made them all run for shelter

It's Christmas time
Again
It's time to be nice to the people who
You can't stand, all year
I'm growing tired of this Christmas cheer

You people scare me
Please stay away from my home
If you don't wanna get me down
Just leave the presents and let me be alone

Well I guess it's not cool to freak on Christmas eve
Because the cops came and arrested me
They had an unfair advantage
And even though the jail didn't have a tree
Christmas came a night early
As a guy named Bubba unwrapped my package

It's Christmas time
Again
It's time to be nice to the people who
You can't stand, all year
I'm growing tired of this Christmas cheer

You people scare me
Please stay away from my home
If you don't wanna get me down
Just leave the presents and let me be alone

I won't be home
I won't be home for Christmas
I won't be home
