The 1972 Christmas Bombing Of North Vietnam

Lyrics

They called it the Christmas Bombing of North Vietnam The primary targets were Hanoi and Haiphong I was only twelve years old, but then I could see This destroyed the meaning of Christmas for me In Rockefellar Center, there was a big Christmas Tree I watched all the snow falling on New York City I thought about the kids my age in North Vietnam Under the blizzards of American bombs But Santa Clause was American, and Americans fly B-52 bombers so high up in the sky Even on Christmas, they won't blink an eye And thousands of kids my age needlessly die So put away your Christmas trees and turn off the lights When I was 12 years old I had such sleepless nights Imagining the kids who died on that one Christmas Night Under the vast formations of bombers in flight They called it the Christmas Bombing of North Vietnam The primary targets were Hanoi and Haiphong I was only twelve years old, but then I could see This destroyed the meaning of Christmas for me This destroyed the meaning of Christmas for me This destroyed the meaning of Christmas for me
