Fired In Christmas
Fired in Christmas: Unwrapping Life's Unexpected Turns
Lyrics
Walking down the blinking lights
Reflecting on the festive atmosphere with Christmas lights.
It's kinda cold today
Commenting on the cold weather during Christmas.
Well, around here it never snows but it's Christmas time again
Noting the absence of snow despite it being Christmas time.
I go downtown to see my mates tonight I'm gonna get drunk
Heading to the city to meet friends and planning to drink.
It was my last day at job cause I've been fired in Christmas
Revealing the speaker's job termination on Christmas.
The boss took me to his office and he told me here it goes son
Describing the boss informing about company sale and layoffs.
The company has been sold and half the lot have to go
Explaining the reason for job loss due to the company being sold.
So here I am with a check in my hand going down the bar
Presenting the speaker with a severance check in hand.
With a silly smile on my face, I'm gonna get drunk tonight
Expressing a carefree attitude and determination to get drunk.
I step into the bar all my mates are there, everybody's happy and drunk
Entering a bar filled with happy, drunk friends.
I order a beer, then two, then three and I start to feel alright
Consuming multiple beers and feeling better.
One our later I'm drunk as hell, we toast to crappy jobs
Getting progressively drunk, toasting to bad jobs.
Happy fucking Christmas to everyone we are gonna burn this city tonight
Cheerfully wishing a sarcastic "Happy Christmas" and planning mischief.
And the girl at the front catches my eye
Noticing a girl and showing interest.
I ask her for a kiss and she gives me a smack
Asking for a kiss and receiving a smack in response.
And all around me everybody smiles
Observing everyone's joy around despite the setback.
Alcohol has taken me to the promised land
Attributing happiness to alcohol, suggesting escapism.
Tomorrow I'll wake up alone again
Acknowledging the likelihood of waking up alone the next day.
With hammers striking my head
Describing the aftermath of excessive drinking with a headache.
Life is just a cruel joke
Philosophizing about life as a harsh joke.
Boy you gotta get a new job
Advising to find a new job in response to the job loss.
Oh, yeah...I've been fired in Christmas
Reiterating the central theme of being fired on Christmas.
