Blame all our troubles on the old EU and smile boys, smile
No-one remembers all the tosh we spoke. Lie boys that's the style
Oh what's the use of honesty. The biggest lies work best.
Conning the people with the most to lose while we invest
Blame all our troubles on the old EU. It must be right.
Tell all the red wall seats it's Brussels fault that their lives weren’t bright
Now we're free to run the show we'll just do what we like
And tell the leK behind that all they need's a faster bike
Putin and Trump were pleased the EU split, so full of glee
But that's a price we'd pay to be alone, token sovereignty.
Don't tell the people that what counts is influence not strut
Or that the world will find it easier to kick our butt.
As we move forward to a brave new world, don’t feel blue
That it’s a shadow of the lives we had while in the EU
There’s nothing like being all alone to make our future glum
One day we’ll Rejoin once we recognise to Leave was dumb
