I woke up this morning and I had the blues

I saw the Nantes cathedral in the news

I watched arson fires burning on live feeds

My friends said why are you sharing these

This isn’t something we want to see

Show us someone taking the knee

Show us something that will make us feel guilty

I said what are you talking about

This is something we should cry and shout

I said this is our beauty and our heritage

This is something worthy of our rage

They said, don’t bother with the shares

Nobody cares darling, nobody cares

Don’t you get it, they are tearing it all down

Everything I love is being burnt to the ground

What can you do about it, they said shrugging

Wasn’t it just another old building or something

i guess nobody cares, I said, and you are right in what you say

But why the fuck did this have to happen on my birthday

Goodbye, darlings, it’s been nice

I hope I find my paradise

Hope my wishes do come true

Hope my new year brings something new –
