In our darkest days, it’s comforting to know that Fiona Apple is just as willing to call everybody on their bulls**t as she was onstage at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards.

The “Criminal” singer has blessed us all with a parody cover of Nat King Cole’s “Christmas Song” to express how she really feels about president-elect Donald Trump.

(Spoiler alert — the last line is: “Donald Trump, f**k you.”)

“Trump’s nuts roasting on an open fire,” Apple sings to the tune of the Christmas classic. “As he keeps nipping at his foes / You’ll cry creepy uncle / Every time he arrives / or he keeps clawing at your clothes.”

“Everybody knows some money and entitlement,” she continues. “Can help to make the season white / Mothers of color with their kids out of sight / will find it hard to sleep at night.”

Thankfully, Apple uploaded a video of herself singing the anti-Trump anthem a capella, which, TBQH, might be the best gift anyone’s getting this year.

Listen to the song and read the full lyrics below.
