about

It's not the Christmas song that 2020 wanted - but it's definitely the one it deserved.

Congratulations! You made it! Not everyone got to see the end of this godforsaken year, so count yourself among the lucky ones. let's all try and crawl back to some basic decency and normalcy in the new year, but until then - enjoy this seasonal retrospective from my family to yours.

lyrics

It was the worst year in anybody’s
Living memory
A dumpster on fire
Week after week
The way we’ve been living
You wouldn’t believe
We’d see another one

With a pandemic raging
From the plains to the coasts
Half the people not dying still think its a hoax
Now some of us have to go home to these folks
For the holidays

Merry Christmas to those who are just getting by
Merry Christmas to the wealthy and unsatisfied
Merry Christmas to you
Merry Christmas to me

The best way to get some tear gas fired at you
Is to protest the cops or a confederate statue
But if you bring your own guns
You can bitch about whatever you please

Some folks are mad cuz they can go out to eat
While the other folk's kids are being shot in the streets
If we can avoid civil war well it’s gonna be
A miracle

Merry Christmas from the last of your PUA checks
And Chadwick and Kobe and Alex Trebek
Merry Christmas Neil Peart
And RBG

Keep telling yourself we’ll get out of this slump
And one of these days we’ll move out of this dump
At least we won’t have to deal with the Trumps
In a couple weeks

One of these days the kids will go back to school
One of these days we’ll stop acting this cruel
If we could just start ignoring these fools
On the internet

Merry Christmas to those who build bridges, not walls
Merry Christmas to everyone in spite of it all
Merry Christmas to you
Merry Christmas to me
