'Twas Twenty Sixteen​.​.​. But at Least We Still Have Christmas (Radio Edit)

from 'Twas Twenty Sixteen by Supersonic Tartan Death Machine

lyrics

It was quite the year
'Twas a terrible year
Major Tom left for space
And then he disappeared
How were we to know
That he would be the first
We had no idea that
Things would get much worse

CHORUS
Hallelujah hallelujah
Say a prayer for 2016
It was quite the year
'Twas a bloody bad year
As bad as many had seen
But at least we still have Christmas
A time for winter and wonder
And cheer
Dreams and friendship
And family, and hope for
A better New Year

The Fifth Beatle knighted
Gave so much to us
A Revolution
Back in his day
Dark clouds have gathered
And no longer shall we
Dance, dance, dance
In the Purple Rain

CHORUS


Will the sun ever rise
Over the Orkneys again
Will they please stop
Testing things
That can bring mankind
To a sudden end
Can people please
Stop beating the drums of war
It's a sound that will bring us back
And make us hurt just like before

CHORUS

Float like a butterfly
Sting like a bee
In 2016 a great nation
TKO'ed their own
Democracy
This was the year
They really rocked the vote
46 percent stayed home
And gave the job to
An old untrained goat

And yet another
Just couldn’t leave things be
A little exploitation
Leads to immigration
Between you and me
Perhaps some people call it Brexit
And think it is a game
But I call it “wrecks it”
And say that things will
Never be the same

CHORUS x2
