there are much worse thing to believe in - stephen colbert lyrics
elvis: there are cynics, there are skeptics
there are legions of disp-ssionate dyspeptics
who regard this time of year as a maudlin insincere
cheezy cr-ss commercial travesty of all that we hold dear
stephen: when they think that
well, i can hear it
but i pity them their lack of christmas spirit
for in a world like ours, take it from stephen
there are much worse things to believe in.
elvis: a redeemer and a savior, an obese man giving toys for good behavior
stephen: the faith in what might be and the hope that we might see
the answer to all sorrow in a box beneath the tree
find them foolish
elvis: sentimental
stephen: well you’re clearly none too bright
both: so we’ll be gentle
stephen: don’t even try to start vaguely conceiving
both: of all much worse things to believe in
stephen: believe in the judgment, believe in jihad
believe in a thousand variations on a dark and spiteful god
elvis: you’ve got your money, you’ve got your power
you’ve got your science, and all the planets going to end within the hour
stephen: you’ve got your dreams that don’t come true
elvis: you’ve got the ones that do
stephen: then you’ve got your nothing
both: some folks believe in nothing
but if you believe in nothing
then what’s to keep the nothing from coming for you
stephen: merry christmas, happy new year
now if you’ll forgive me there’s a lot to do here
there are stockings still unhung
colored lights i haven’t strung
elvis: and a one-man four-part christmas carol waiting to be sung
stephen: call me silly, call me sappy
call me many things, the first of which is happy
you doubt, but you’re sad
i don’t, but i’m glad
both: i guess we’re even
stephen: at least that’s what i believe in
both: and there are much worse things
