Last Christmas: the 2020 version

Last Christmas I gave you my vote

But the very next day you gave my human rights away

This year I’m still full of tears

As I queue for my chlorinated chicken.

But the very next day you gave my human rights away

(You gave them away)

This year I’m still full of tears

As I queue for my chlorinated chicken

(Chicken).

 

Once (twice, thrice...) bitten but still ‘we’ vote Tory

But post-election it’s the same old story

Tell me Johnson, do you recognise me?

It’s been a year, and still nothing for me (or my family, community, country or planet….)

 

(Happy Christmas)

To ‘Get Brexit Done’ I gave you my vote

But it’s you and your mates who were able to gloat

Now I know what I fool I’ve been

But listening to the news they try to fool me again.

Oh, oh human rights, workers rights, animal rights …. clearly they mean nothing.

Crowded hospital corridors, poverty, homelessness…

I see you laughing on the benches; such heartlessness

To think I thought you were someone to rely on

Like millions of others I was a voter you stole hope from.

 

I can’t believe I trusted a man who hid in a fridge

Not even to mention the fiasco with the bridge

Ooh hoo, now I’ve done some research

You’ll never fool me again (too late I know…).

Not even to mention the fiasco with the bridge

Maybe next time I’ll research a bit more

And vote for social justice

(Justice).

 

I’ll vote

For the many

Not vote for the few

I’ll vote for social justice.

 

I’ll vote for a party who’ll give me something in return

(I’ll vote for the many)

Not the ones who trash and burn

(I'll vote for the many)

(I'll vote for the many)

(I'll vote for social justice).

 

I knew you’d lied

But I gave you a try

I thought you were someone special.

I gave you my vote

(I’m still full of tears)

(I’m still full of tears).

 

Last Christmas I gave you my vote

(I’ll vote for social justice)
