Someday at Christmas
Someday at Christmas police won’t be boys
Playing with Black lives like kids play with toys
One warm December our hearts will see
A world where we are free
Someday at Christmas there’ll be no wars
When we have learned what Christmas is for
When we have found what life’s really worth
There’ll be peace on earth
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where we are free
It will take a movement built by you and me
Someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmas we’ll see a land
With no killer cops with guns in their hands
One happy morning people will share
A world where people care
Someday at Christmas there’ll be no tears
When all no Black mama meets the worst of her fears
One shining moment, one prayer away
From our world today
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where we are free
It will take a movement built by you and me
Someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmas oppression will fail
Hate will be gone and love will prevail
Someday a new world that we can start
With hope in every heart
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where we are free
It will take a movement built by you and me
Someday at Christmastime…Someday at Christmastime.
Dreaming of a Black Xmas
We’re dreaming of a Black XMas
Much different from what we now know
Where our one true mission
Is a radical vision
To see the Black economy grow
We’re dreaming of a Black XMas
With every injustice that we fight
May our boycott lead to human rights
And may all our Black XMases unite, the people!
“Hark the Fighting People Sing”
(sung to the tune of “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing”)
v. 1
Hark! The fighting people sing —
“Listen to the news we bring!”
Peace on earth and mercy mild
Black and Human reconciled
Joyful, all Black people rise
Then no more we’ll hear Trump’s lies
Here, together we proclaim:
We will always say their name
Hark! The fighting people sing —
“Listen to the news we bring”
v. 2
Trump’s despised at home and abroad
He’s a racist, liar, and fraud
He thinks women should be seen, not heard
We can’t trust a single word
He cheats the workers of Trump Tower
We won’t recognize his power
Though January twenty is near
We will never live in fear
Hark! The fighting people sing –
“Listen to the news we bring”
[Repeat v. 1]
“Deck the Streets”
(sung to the tune of “Deck the Halls”)
v. 1
Deck the streets Black, young and old
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
We won’t do as we’re told
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Black folks joyous, altogether
Fa-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Heedless of the wind and weather
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
v. 2
Trump tries to silence and defeat us
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
But we sing louder, he can’t beat us
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Police have no force we concede to
Fa-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Black pride and love will see us through
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
v. 3
Fast away Trump’s first term passes
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Peace! to all his lads and lasses
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
We’re on the mic, we do the speaking
Fa-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
We’re the leaders we’ve been seeking
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
“Trump’s Nuts Roasting on an Open Fire” by Fiona Apple
(sung to the tune of “Christmas Song” Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)
Trump’s nuts roasting on an open fire
As he keeps nipping at his foes,
You’ll cry ‘creepy uncle’ every time he arrives
For he keeps clawing at your clothes
Everybody knows that money and entitlement can help to make the season white
Mothers of color with their kids out of sight will find it hard to sleep at night
They know that Trump is on his way
He’s got black boys in hoodies locked up on his sleigh
And every working man is gonna cry
When they learn that letch don’t care how you live or if you die
So I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from 1 to 92
Although it’s been said, many times many ways
Merry Christmas to you
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Donald Trump, fuck you
