He thinks that he can recollect a time when things were better
He likes to read the Daily Mail, he likes to send them letters.
They told him it’s the immigrants that made things so much worse
He’s read and he believes it, that the EU is a curse
So he voted for Brexit
He thinks it’s time for us to make an exit
Take back control, that’s what they all believed
So he voted Leave.
She used to have a job but then they told her it was gone
She thought it would be easy to just turn up and sign on
But Universal Credit left her begging for support
So something had to change: “It can’t be worse than this” she thought
So she voted for Brexit
She thinks it’s time for us to make an exit
Take back control, that’s what they all believed
So she voted Leave.
He wants to be a big man, but inside he’s full of shame
He’s just a little frightened boy. He wants someone to blame
And UKIP said Muslamics make our country weak you see:
The EU lets ‘em in, and then they get away scot free
So he voted for Brexit
He thinks it’s time for us to make an exit
Take back control, that’s what they all believed
So she voted Leave
When choosing a career, she knew that nursing was the one
The hospital she works in used to be second to none
But so many years of budget cuts have left it in a mess
She saw it on a bus: the way to save the NHS
So she voted for Brexit
She thinks it’s time for us to make an exit
Take back control, that’s what they all believe
So he voted Leave
She never ever thought that she would be in this position
The top job no one wanted, now it’s hers. She’s on a mission
She doesn’t really care these days, if she is right or wrong
She thinks that being stubborn is the same as being strong
So she’s pushing for Brexit
It’s her country now, so who cares if she wrecks it?
She’ll push this entire nation
Off a cliff edge to damnation
To imagined adulation
And herself’s the only person she’ll deceive
Why won’t she leave?
