Gray Christmas

What we need is a gray Christmas
We got too much of black and white
Too much focus on how we’re different
Not enough on wrong and right

What we need is a gray Christmas
Might just keep you from those blues
No worries on sounding irreverent
Play this straight without the booze

Don’t matter how, if or when you pray
Even gray comes in many shades
Think you are wealthy, but you’re poor
Stand up for peace the other 3-6-4

What we need is a gray Christmas
Just forget about green and red
Give in and give us a lasting present
Give with your heart and your head

What we need is a gray Christmas
