The will of the people (the will of the people) A term I now despise (I now despise) Just means millions of sheeple (millions of sheeple) Fell for the leaver lies (the leaver lies) Brexit really means bullshit And one day we'll realise Brexiteers dropped us in it With help from their tabloid allies I hear that Brexiteer most foul And I start to howl He's a pound shop Enoch Powell And we've got to watch him A bargain basement tax haven (basement tax haven) Is Britain's true destiny (true destiny) Forget that nonsense 'bout savin' (nonsense 'bout savin') Cash or sovereignty (sovereignty) Enough talk of global trade deals Unicorns or money trees We really need to get real Europe is where we should be I hear that Brexiteer most foul And I start to howl He's a pound shop Enoch Powell And we've got to watch him I am no liberal snowflake (no liberal snowflake) Or just some bleedin' heart (some bleedin' heart) People's futures are at stake (futures at stake) No-one should pick them apart (pick them apart) Backroom deals are dangerous In Brussels or Downing Street But Europe is better for us That unity is hard to beat I hear that Brexiteer most foul And I start to howl He's a pound shop Enoch Powell And we've got to watch him I hear that Brexiteer most foul And I start to howl He's a pound shop Enoch Powell And we've got to watch him He's a pound shop Enoch Powell And we've got to watch him He's a pound shop Enoch Powell He's a pound shop Enoch Powell He's a pound shop Enoch Powell And we've got to watch him

WATCHING FROM AFAR You can all leave I will remain Far from the ignorant parade Of bigoted views that some choose As their refrain If you think you're better off Cutting yourselves off From openness and hope Then I think you're wrong Opportunists have won again Vying for power at number ten Preying on fears and drinking beers With their old school friends Watching from afar I see too many people are Taken in by lies and media brainwashing There has to be a way to finally break the chains Of fear, hate and nostalgia All self-defeating As a form of protest Closing your mind is not the best Blaming Johnny Foreigner Is irrational Patriotism is a curse Nationalism's even worse Brainwashed minds combine them With xenophobia If you're scared or short on hope Don't give ex-traders the rope To hang you out to dry With lies and false hope Watching from afar I see too many people are Taken in by lies and media brainwashing There has to be a way to finally break the chains Of fear, hate and nostalgia All self-defeating If it wasn't sad I'd laugh Long and hard at how daft And retrograde what some people say And think is That's democracy I'm afraid Where voters get to have their say Any Tom, Dick or Harriet Can make their voices heard But this isn't a fait accompli So question everything you read Or you'll end up bending the knee To idiocracy Watching from afar I see too many people are Taken in by lies and media brainwashing There has to be a way to finally break the chains Of fear, hate and nostalgia All self-defeating Watching from afar I see too many people are Taken in by lies and media brainwashing There has to be a way to finally break the chains Of fear, hate and nostalgia All self-defeating You can all leave I will remain
