Analysis of They don't get to celebrate
Children throughout impoverished world labor
So privileged one's enjoy a holiday
In fields and factories they die sooner than later
To produce gifts on a store window display
The fortunate don't realize who's responsible
When exchanging presents and filling their plate
For all the things made possible
By children who don't get to celebrate
