F​*​*​* You, 2020

from The Captain's Treasure by Laura Scarborough

about

A "Holiday" song from Dec 2020:
"Hallelujah, It's almost Over. F*** You, 2020."

A reflection of the year and processing loss. The Song without Words: Lament was written at the same time. They are companions.

lyrics

No caroling in the city square
Snow on the roof, but no reindeer.
Lights in windows, but doors have “Closed” signs,
No holiday frenzy, just Corona Virus testing lines.

We can pretend there’s “Joy to the World,”
That celebrations and traditions make us feel good,
But no gifts can replace the loss of many,
Fuck you 2020.

Hallelujah, It’s almost over, Hallelujah, It’s almost over.

If I could sit on Santa’s lap,
First, I’d wish for you back,
Then I’d wish for a wiser humanity,
With more compassion, generosity, equality, opportunity, sincerity.

I won’t pretend that I know
anymore or any less than you, I’ll say it so,
but I’m sick of righteous stupidity,
Fuck you 2020.

Hallelujah, It’s almost over, Hallelujah, It’s almost over.

I still decorated a tree,
To have something new and shiny,
And I’ll light a candle for you,
I’ll light one for 2021 too.

I don’t know what next year will bring,
I’ll keep my chin up, smile, and sing,
Whether happy or feel shitty,
Fuck you 2020.

Hallelujah, It’s almost over, Hallelujah, It’s almost over.
