We're Following the Wrong Star Songtext

von Billy Bragg

He doesn't even notice
How much it is costing for the year
He's banking on his bonus
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
And the snow falls down on the good and on the bad
Falls upon the happy and the sad
That's the thing about the weather,
It's the only time you can be sure we're all in this together

She can't afford to heat
The home that she's been left in with her kids
Her wages have been frozen
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Peace on earth and good will to all men
If we hope to get there in the end
This is not the way to Bethlehem, oh no
We're following the wrong star
We're following the wrong star
We're following the wrong star

They're marching on the streets again
They're answering the call
People marching through the streets again
Down into the city and into the shopping malls

Peace on earth and good will to all men
If we hope to get there in the end
This is not the way to Bethlehem, oh no
We're following the wrong star
We're following the wrong star
We're following the wrong star
