[00:04.69]Elvis: There are cynics, there are skeptics
[00:08.80]There are legions of dispassionate dyspeptics
[00:12.09]Who regard this time of year as a maudlin insincere
[00:15.81]Cheezy crass commercial travesty of all that we hold dear
[00:20.33]Stephen: When they think that
[00:22.75]Well, I can hear it
[00:24.72]But I pity them their lack of Christmas spirit
[00:28.54]For in a world like ours, take it from Stephen
[00:32.31]There are much worse things to believe in.
[00:36.96]Elvis: A redeemer and a savior, an obese man giving toys for good behavior
[00:44.67]Stephen: The faith in what might be and the hope that we might see
[00:48.66]The answer to all sorrow in a box beneath the tree
[00:53.10]Find them foolish
[00:55.02]Elvis: Sentimental
[00:57.13]Stephen: Well you're clearly none too bright
[00:58.93]Both: so we'll be gentle
[01:01.45]Stephen: Don't even try to start vaguely conceiving
[01:05.34]Both: Of all much worse things to believe in
[01:09.92]Stephen: Believe in the judgment, believe in Jihad
[01:13.19]Believe in a thousand variations on a dark and spiteful god
[01:17.47]Elvis: You've got your money, you've got your power
[01:21.14]You've got your science, and all the planets going to end within the hour
[01:25.27]Stephen: You've got your dreams that don't come true
[01:27.73]Elvis: You've got the ones that do
[01:30.81]Stephen: Then you've got your nothing
[01:32.67]Both: Some folks believe in nothing
[01:35.49]But if you believe in nothing
[01:38.80]Then what's to keep the nothing from coming for you
[01:45.20]Stephen: Merry Christmas, Happy New Year
[01:49.66]Now if you'll forgive me there's a lot to do here
[01:53.49]There are stockings still unhung
[01:55.36]Colored lights I haven't strung
[01:57.53]Elvis: And a one-man four-part Christmas carol waiting to be sung
[02:03.24]Stephen: Call me silly, call me sappy
[02:06.65]Call me many things, the first of which is happy
[02:11.30]You doubt, but you're sad
[02:13.77]I don't, but I'm glad
[02:18.28]Both: I guess we're even
[02:21.79]Stephen: At least that's what I believe in
[02:26.52]Both: And there are much worse things
