āHow do you sleep when the world keeps turning? / All that we built has come undone / How do you sleep when the world is burning? / Everyone answers to someone,ā Streisand croons on the track.
In an interview with Billboard, Streisand explained why she chose to take aim at Trump.
“I’ve written many articles about thisā¦ this personā¦ who has no manners, insults everybody, makes fun of disabled people. I don’t know what to say, I’ve written like 15 Huffington Post pieces. This way my way to do my record, because what else could I think about? It’s my protest, in a sense, about this unprecedented time in our history. What it says about America. We have to give up the electoral college system, that’s what I know. I think people should vote for the president of the United Status ā the popular vote should count. Give people a voice; one vote, one voice,” Streisand says.
