Mistletoe Riot

Verse 1:
Tinsel’s hanging like broken dreams
In this mall of corporate schemes
Spotted you by the food court there
Safety pins in your midnight hair

Pre-Chorus:
They want us to play nice and sweet
While Christmas carols set the beat
But baby, I’ve got other plans
With mistletoe in rebel hands

Chorus:
Let’s start a Mistletoe Riot
Can’t keep quiet, gonna try it
Steal a kiss, raise some hell
While all the good kids stand and yell
Mistletoe Riot
Our love’s gonna start it
Break tradition, break the rules
Two punk hearts ain’t nobody’s fools

Verse 2:
Your combat boots match your candy cane
Anarchy symbol drawn in fake snow stains
Security guard’s giving us the eye
As we’re plotting our holiday crime

Pre-Chorus:
No sugar plums in this fairy tale
Just two misfits going off the rail
Found love beneath the plastic green
Now let’s make this Christmas obscene

[Chorus Repeats]

Bridge:
They say Christmas is for family and friends
We found our own kind of holy night
Where department store music ends
And mosh pit carols feel just right
So deck the halls with middle fingers
While seasonal joy turns to sweet chaos
Our love’s the kind that lingers
When all the nice kids have gone home

Final Chorus:
Let’s start a Mistletoe Riot
Can’t keep quiet, gonna try it
Steal a kiss, raise some hell
While all the good kids stand and yell
Mistletoe Riot
Our love’s gonna start it
Break tradition, make it new
Just me and my riot crew

Outro:
Meet me where the tinsel falls
Spray paint hearts on shopping walls
This ain’t your grandma’s Christmas song
This is where we both belong
