Lily Allen has released a cover of Rufus Wainwright’s Going To A Town as an anti-Donald Trump protest song, accompanied by a video including footage of the Women’s March in London.

The black and white video, directed by Bafic, with a musical arrangement from Mark Ronson, also features footage of Allen’s performance of the song at the rally. She recently included Wainwright’s song in an anti-Trump playlist she shared on social media.

Allen has been openly critical of the newly inaugurated American president, once calling him a “moron” on Twitter for his comments about the Brexit vote.
