Bring back the old days:

When we had progress going for us
Idealised hope for inclusivity
Cos we knew more and thought more
And saw the world of difference and embraced it
And I was sorely mistaken:
I thought you embraced me
Yet your arms fell to your side
and my body slipped away
And I fell hard
like I just found out
Santa was fake
Because you believed that
Social liberalism was code for
Self serving ignorance –
And I couldn’t unsee the irony
