about

A song about brexit lies and the lying liars that told them, written the day after the referendum in June 2016.

lyrics

Hope pedlars
Snake oil dreams
Charlatans
Good old days

Ill fitting suits
Fairground flags
Take back control
Of rundown towns

I want to go back to where I came from
Go back to where I came from
Go back to where I came from

But that place is gone
But that place is gone
But that place is gone
But that place is gone

A wave of votes
Carries them on
A froth of hope
They soon disown

The undertow
Pulls you down
They’re on the beach
You're left to drown

I want to go back to where I came from
Go back to where I came from
Go back to where I came from

But that place is gone
But that place is gone
But that place is gone
But that place is gone
