I always found the idea of Santa Claus to be a little off center…and listening to this song proves it with an almost word for word literal translation. Have fun damaging children!
santa claus is coming to town – bruce springsteen
an elderly obese man who lives in solitary up in a remote region of the earth with an enslaved race of tiny people – takes note of everything you do and everything you’ve done, watches you while you sleep, eat, and breathe – will be coming to your house late at night, crawl down your chimney and pass judgement on you while you sleep.
and you better leave him some goddamn cookies!
