lyrics

On the 23rd of June in 2016
The people of the United Kingdom - and Gibraltar - went to vote
On an issue that for some had been burning for years
The question in full - and unaltered - was - I quote
Should the United Kingdom remain
a member of the European Union
or leave the European Union?

It was the greatest democratic turnout in British history, I do not scoff
And when the time came to speak the British said (musical trill) fuck off

Campaigning had gone on for many a month
With debate and discussion on many a front
They’d argued they’d fought they’d smeared and pulled stunts
And David Cameron. Theresa May. George Osborne.
Tony Blair. John Major. The BBC.
The British told them to fuck off. The British told them to fuck off.

If you vote to leave, you’ll lose your job
Vote to leave, you’ll lose your home.
The ensuing recession will last for years
Said David Cameron. Theresa May. George Osborne.
And the Treasury. Tony Blair. John Major. The BBC.
The Bank of England. Mark Carney. The EU. The IMF. The US president. Saint Obama. Back of the cue. Loads of celebrities. Gary Lineker. JK Rowling. Benedict Cumbertwat. Lord Adonis. Who the fuck’s he anyway?
The British told them to fuck off. Seventeen million fuck offs.

They wheeled in the experts to tell us what’s right
They gave us the benefit of their foresight
To leave is calamitous, that’s definite.
Food shortages. No medicine. Planes grounded. House price crash. ½ a million jobs lost. Cost of £4,300 to every home. Stock market collapse. Riots. No sandwiches.There’d be an outbreak of super-gonorrhea. They seriously said that. No Mars Bars. No fish and chips. Donald Tusk at the EU said it would be the end of Western civilization as we know it. I’m not joking. And one more thing. If you vote to leave, that makes you racist.
The British told them to fuck off. Seventeen million fuck offs.



5 years had gone by since the British did vote
Some people still hadn’t got over it yet
Brexit is to blame for all wrong in the world

Global supply chain failures
Microchip shortages in China
Empty shelves in Brussels
The Covid 19 pandemic
Lockdown
Not locking down
The DVLA failing to process HGV licences leading to a shortage of truck drivers
High gas prices when we have perfectly abundant supplies that environmentalists had stopped us producing
Panic petrol buying after a false Rumour was spread by a remain leaning trucker organization
The failure of the EU to roll out vaccines quickly
Vaccines
Not enough vaccines
Too many vaccines
Labour shortages where the pay is shit
No currants in Sainsburys
That everyone left London during the pandemic
The shortcomings the Irish football team

I thought we told you to fuck off. Seventeen million fuck-offs
