They have released ten full-length studio albums and two live albums and have toured the world extensively, including performances on the Vans Warped Tour.

[Intro]
Uh, the reason I didn't get you anything this year is-is because...
[Verse 1]
E
I don't believe in Santa Claus
G
His corporate image forced upon
E
The blinded spending masses
G
To enslave the lower classes
E
With obligatory gifts that serve
G
To cleanse the year of guilt and shame
E G
One token gesture justifies the apathetic, hypnotized
E F# G D#
Leaving them to be Kris Kringle's slaves (Ooh)
[Bridge]
E E C B
Buy! Buy! I won't do it!
D D#
The season's obligation has not my participation!
E E C B
Buy! Buy! I won't do it!
D D#
The money hungry mating call of corporate swine
G C
'Cause it's only for the money!
G C
And it's only for the money!
G C
'Cause it's only for the money!
E
Now buy!
[Verse 2]
E
He monitors naughty and nice
C
Big Brother is St. Nick
F# C
Methodically his judgment made documented on his list
E C
I don't believe in Santa Claus or his mystical facade
E
To teach the children wanton greed
Their lust for gifts becomes a need
F#
Brainwashed by the marketing
And victims of the corporate scheme
A
Material possessions becoming their obsessions
B
'Till human life has lost it's value
And you blindly do just what they tell you
E
I don't believe!
E (Scratch it like Crass)
His tactics of intimidation repress the minds of youth
Using fear for generations -- his image hides the truth
He's just a puppet for the system; a glutton in a suit
G C# E
With yuletide propaganda and a bearded mask to boot!
[Outro]
Uh, that, and I couldn't find a place to park at the mall. Sorry
