Do They Know It’s Concession Time?

On this day in 1984, Band Aid’s “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” debuted on the UK charts at #1 and stayed there for five weeks. It was a huge hit in the states and a holiday classic that’s been played way too much ever since. Perhaps it’s time for another reboot but this time with new lyrics and maybe, just maybe, performed by all the artists who told Donald Trump not to play their songs at his often dangerous rallies. Here’s my suggestion for a new holiday classic. I hope you enjoy it. Gather the kids around a warm fire would ya?

“Do they know it’s Concession?”

It’s concession time, there’s no need to be afraid
At concession time, we let in light and we banish sadists

And in our world of covid we can spread a smile with vaccines
Throw your arms around the world at concession time

But say a prayer, pray for the enabling GOP
At concession time it’s hard, but when you’re losing bigly

Your conspiracy theories are out there
You’ve left behind this world of dread and fear

Where the only water flowing
Is big fat sore loser’s tears

And the Christmas bells that should ring here
Don’t at all because Melania hates to decorate

Well, tonight thank God Rudy’s gone back to his cave

And there will be plenty of a snow under Don Jr.’s nose this Christmas time
Thankfully, the greatest gift we’ll all get this year is less lies

Where the day drunk tweets and endless pardons finally go
Back to that shithole Mar-a-Lago

Do they know it’s concession time at all?

Good riddance
Wear a mask for everyone

MAGA squad, stop your threats and protests for your own peace of mind
Lady G, Kayleigh and Kellyanne, kiss someone else’s behind

Here’s to us
Kushner and McConnell eat a bag of shit

Ted Cruz’s wife is not that ugly and his father didn’t kill JFK
Yet the brown noser from Texas was going to court anyway.

Do they know it’s concession time at all?

Heal the world
Heal the world
Heal the world
Heal the world

Heal the world
Let them know you concede you little bitch

Heal the world
Let them know you concede you little bitch

Heal the world
Let them know you concede you little bitch

Heal the world
Let them know you concede you little bitch

Happy Holidays! Now pack up your shit.
