“I was in my car one day in the holiday season, and an ad came on that said if you were really good this year, Santa could fix you up with a brand new Cadillac. I did a little self-talk that went like this: ‘Bull effin’ shoot. It’s not how good you are; it’s how much money your parents have.’ So I wrote a song about that. ‘Santa comes to all the girls and boys, but the rich kids seem to get all the best toys.’”
