| Macy Gray releases a politically charged holiday song. It dings Donald Trump. |
Macy Gray released "All I Want for Christmas" on iTunes this month. The song is pretty awesome if you're a progressive and want Congress to get President Barack Obama's agenda done.
The song pretty much takes a stance on issues that are considered hot potatoes in the junk food media. Cue the conservative outrage.
Here's the lyrics. Read it carefully and then peep the commentary below.
[Verse 1]
All I want for Christmas is a whole bunch of stuff
But anything that you can buy me won’t be enough
Because everything I’m hoping for is intangible
Like free health care and gun control
[Pre-Chorus]
If you wanna make the world a better place
Say alright (alright) alright (alright)
If you wanna peaceful world for Christmas day
Say alright (alright) alright (alright)
[Chorus]
Christmas is here
I know what I want this year
Presents and toys are fine
But I got bigger things in mind
Santa can you swing more love? More peace?
Because that’s what everybody needs
Come save the world with me
[Verse 2]
Santa Claus stop by the ghetto too
And bring lots of opportunity with you
Bring the day the government will realize
We’ll all be happier when it’s legalized
So immigrate, stop the hate, let’s educate
The more we do, the less we will incarcerate
7 billion people just below the moon
And if we come together, oh, the things that we could do
[Pre-Chorus]
If you wanna make the world a better place
Say alright (alright) alright (alright)
If you wanna peaceful world for Christmas day
Say alright (alright) alright (alright)
[Chorus]
Christmas is here
I know what I want this year
Presents and toys are fine
But I got bigger things in mind
Santa can you swing more love? More peace?
Because that’s what everybody needs
Come save the world with me
[Interlude - Kids Talk]
What do you want for Christmas?
I just want peace for everybody on earth
What about you?
I want hope for everybody
Tayjon?
I think I want homes for the homeless
Alina?
I want water for everybody
Yaay
[Bridge]
All I want for Christmas is to have a chance
So please take care of the environment
Take Mr. Gore seriously
And do what you can to stop global warming
No matter what they say, Barack you did real good
I hope that your successor
Does the things he or she should
That Mr. Trump, he’s an entertaining guy
But let's face it, really is he qualified?
[Pre-Chorus]
If you wanna make the world a better place
Say alright (alright) alright (alright)
If you wanna peaceful world for Christmas day
Say alright (alright) alright (alright)
[Chorus]
Christmas is here
I know what I want this year
Presents and toys are fine
But I got bigger things in mind
Santa can you swing more love? More peace?
Because that’s what everybody needs
Come save the world with me
You see that she's taking a dig at Republican frontrunner Donald Trump. Macy Gray also wanted the country to recognize climate change. She said that President Barack Obama's agenda is good.
Many conservatives will blast the song for being "liberal indoctrination" and "Hollywood elitists" talking down "real Americans".
Macy Gray is well aware of the outrage that will follow her.
She doesn't care about the criticism. Her job is put out songs for her fans. I am certain her fans will be happy to hear it.
Conservatives will get even more outraged. She did the song called "B.O.B.". The song talks about that little thing that keeps women in their vibe. If you want to know what I'm talking about. Click here.
