RETOLD – Do They Know It’s Christmas?!

54 minutes

In honor of the holiday, revisit Brian’s 2021 deep dive into the ridiculously saccharine (and culturally tone-def) endeavor known forever as Band Aid.

Here are the stupid-ass lyrics:

It’s Christmas time, there’s no need to be afraidAt Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade

And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joyThrow your arms around the world at Christmas time

But say a prayer, Pray for the other onesAt Christmas time it’s hard, but when you’re having fun

There’s a world outside your windowAnd it’s a world of dread and fear

Where the only water flowing

Is the bitter sting of tears

And the Christmas bells that ringThere are the clanging chimes of doom

Well tonight thank God it’s them instead of you

And there won’t be snow in Africa this Christmas timeThe greatest gift they’ll get this year is life

Where nothing ever growsNo rain nor rivers flow

Do they know it’s Christmas time at all?

Here’s to youRaise a glass for everyone

Spare a thought this yuletide for the deprivedIf the table was turned would you survive

Here’s to themUnderneath that burning sun

You ain’t gotta feel guilt just selflessGive a little help to the helpless

Do they know it’s Christmas time at all?
