I need to get busy writing some music or something.

Maybe we could do the first Christian Halloween record. THAT has possibilities.

Here are my issues with Christmas. The nativity scene as it is presented never happened. Jesus was about three and his family had been hiding in Egypt by the time people came to see him. There were not three wise men. There were multiple men with three gifts. There was no drummer boy. What else?

As it's presented in modern day figures? Yes, that's why we did NOT include the wise men - or a drummer boy on the cover.

I don't think Frosty ever came to life either. Rudolph's nose probably wasn't red.

Since Rudolph quickly got to the front of the line, I bet his nose was a Santa shade of brown.

Oh holy crap
my neighbors kids are fighting
it is the ninth time that I've called police
long was my day
silence sounds inviting
the sounds I hear
are of screaming and death

I want to show
those kids my gun collection
then they would know
that they have all been warned

fall on your knees
oh hear my chamber loading
oh night divine
oh night when they were warned
oh night divine
oh night, oh night divine

Why does my father bother to say there's a Santa?
I saw the wrapping paper in his room.
why should my father bother to put my gifts right under the tree?
it's all because he wants us to have fun.

Once I was listening to Petra with repetition and devotion,
went to every concert out our way.
Now we are waiting for some music
and believe me we can use it.
Some people on the zone still misbehave.

Why does my father bother to say there's a Santa?
I saw the wrapping paper in his room.
why should my father bother to put my gifts right under the tree?
it's all because he wants us to have fun.

And they cry "Greg don't bother", "Greg don't bother" ,"Greg don't bother" , "Greg don't bother"
they cry "Greg don't bother", "Greg don't bother", "Greg don't bother" , "Greg don't bother"

There are some people who like Johnny, and wish he'd play with Ronnie
even get old Louie on the drums.
now Johnny said he'd rather give us
Christmas music about Jesus.
forget about the past and let it be.

Why does my father bother to say there's a Santa?

why should my father bother to put my gifts right under the tree?

And they cry "Greg don't bother", "Greg don't bother" ,"Greg don't bother" , "Greg don't bother"

O Petra bus! O Petra bus!
Thy mileage is not summing;
O Petra bus! O Petra bus!
Thy engine is not running;
why don't you start and come my way
give us a show that makes our day
O Petra bus! O Petra bus!
Thy mileage is not summing;

O Petra band! O Petra band!
Thy drummer is not Louie;
O Petra band! O Petra band!
you make me yell out phooey!
I want to see a grown up man
where Mickey Mouse on his head band
O Petra band! O Petra band!
Thy drummer is not Louie;

O Petra band! O Petra band!
I need some rocking music:
O Petra band! O Petra band!
Oh tell me when I'll hear it!
I never want my favorite bands
to kneel and kiss the label's hand!
O Petra band! O Petra band!
I need some rocking music:

Oh Mr Voltz! Oh Mr Voltz!
I like your old red Reeboks!
Oh Mr Voltz! Oh Mr Voltz!
Your wore white Nike gym socks
You danced around upon the stage
when sleeveless shirts were all the rage!
Oh Mr Voltz! Oh Mr Voltz!
I like your old red Reeboks!

Louie the drummer was a jolly happy soul
With a Mickey House on his boxer shorts
and two sticks that he could throw.
John Schlitt the frontman is a scary man they say
cause he got real mad, let Louie go
and the rest is all hearsay.
There must have been some happy guys
who showed up to try out
but none of them are the same to me
I sure miss Mickey Mouse.
O
Louie the drummer is busy busy man
now he spends his time now on the road
driving bands across the land

Thumpety thump thump
thumpety thump thump
Look at Louie go
Thumpetty thump thump
thumpety thump thump
on the Petra video
