Pull the Ladder Up

a "conservative" Christmas song

Lyrics

When the world is piling snow on everything in sight
It's so nice to know your parachute is safe and tight
Never mind the human race
You know you've earned your place
They chose to freeze if they're in the streets tonight.

  Chorus:
    So pull the ladder up behind you this Christmas
    If you help too much then it shows you don't really care.
    Keep everyone in their place this Christmas
    We all feel higher up when they stay down there.

When Santa's bringing gifts to all the girls and boys
Make sure that jolly socialist charges for all those toys.
He'd better not be
creating gift dependency
If the kids didn't save up money, well that's their choice.

---

If some people are in need
Why not just let them bleed?


With earnings you can hide, safe from poor people outside
You deserve every bit of joy this Christmas day


Watching people freeze
Puts a great big smile on a job-creator's face


Give everything you can to your local retail chain

Gas was better when it wasn't safe, no matter what they've said
Don't let that socialist Santa Claus pry your guns out from your paws
For Christmas dinner this year everyone will have their fill of lead.

  Chorus:
    So pull the ladder up behind you this Christmas
    If you help too much then it shows you don't really care.
    Keep everyone in their place this Christmas
    'Cuz they make you look higher up when they stay down there.

    So pull the ladder up behind you this Christmas
    Keep everyone in their place for goodness' sake.
    If people already have the things they need
    You know they'll just steal as much as they can take.
