Was it meant to be that you would just walk out on all of us
Was it meant to be that you would betray all of our trust
Was it meant to be that you would leave our sinking ship
For someone else to drive it to the bottom of the sea
Was it meant to be that you'd leave us in this trouble
Was it meant to be that you'd be so 2016
You will go down as the one who took away our solid ground
And now we are all falling down
Was it meant to be that death would be synonymous with your destiny
All those celebrities and refugees that you took out of this world
Why did you let it be that a biggot takes over the land of the free
His words of lies and a bank account for his soul
Was it meant to be that you'd leave us in this trouble
Was it meant to be that you'd be so 2016
You will go down as the one who took away our solid ground
And now we are all falling down
And so our message is clear; it's time to make this year a better one
More tolerant than he who's beliefs are full of mysogyny
Let's make the change we know we can make for the better, we've got to do by reversing the problems that we
Have been getting less out of than we all put in, less than we all need
And so it had to be that this year would be the one that would hurt us all
Enough hope for thirty-three crammed into all the false hopes of one
Because of privileged he who convinced the vulnerable that we should leave
'Cause our problems are caused by the foreigners, he said
Was it meant to be that you'd leave us in this trouble
Was it meant to be that you'd be so 2016
You will go down as the one who took away our solid ground
And now we are all falling down
Was it meant to be that you'd leave us in this trouble
Was it meant to be that you'd be so 2016
