about

As the name suggests the song is about the turmoil surrounding the UK's proposed exit of the European Union.

lyrics

Brexit, exit

Now we’re gonna back it

Brexit, exit

It’s gonna cost a packet

Is a mistake or are we better off out?

Will going it alone give us more clout?


Verse 1

Maybe we should leave or maybe we should stay

Either way, everybody blames Mrs May

What about Boris and the ex-punk Nige?

They promoted leave

And were happy to oblige


Verse 2

Everything will be better or so they said

Playing to their audience and messing with its head

David Cameron has left the sinking ship

He pushed the boundaries of brinkmanship

Confused us with no idea of what they were saying

Monopoly was what they thought they were playing


Verse 3

Dear Mr Junker we’re holed up in a bunker

While our dear country gets drunker & drunker

On the chaos that pervades & causes a divide

In a situation where there’s no place to hide


Brexit, exit

Now we’re gonna back it

Brexit, exit

It’s gonna cost a packet

Is a mistake or are we off better out?

Will going it alone give us more clout?


Verse 4

Maybe we need help from the Poles or the Swedes

Hey no one’s really sure what the country needs

Heading for disaster 'cos no one has a plan

This country could be heading right down the pan


Verse 5
But they say every cloud has a silver lining
Maybe on the other side, the sun will be shining
The great will be put back into Great Britain
An over-reaction is how history will be written

Brexit, exit
Now we’re gonna back it
Brexit, exit
It’s gonna cost a packet
Is a mistake or are we better off out?
Will going it alone give us more clout?

Verse 6
It may be unpredictable but we will survive
In fact, we’ll do more than that,
We could even thrive

Verse 7
Don’t blame the immigrants
They’ve helped make this country great
No room in our society
For intolerance and hate

Verse 8
Asians gave us great food & many a great doc
Even beating us at cricket which used to be a shock!
Then we have the Eastern nations
With Romanians & Poles & integration
The majority here following our legislation

Brexit, exit
Now we’re gonna back it
Brexit, exit
It’s gonna cost a packet
Is a mistake or are we better off out?
Will going it alone give us more clout?

Verse 9
So whether you’re a Brexiteer or a Remainer
It quite simply couldn’t be put any plainer
That we have to work together to get out of this mess
A win-win situation and nothing less

Verse 10
We’ve lost even more faith in our politicians
Oh how I wish they could be more like magicians
Pull the rabbit from the hat
And find a solution
'Cos we wanna get back to our great constitution

Verse 11
Rule Britannia & God save the Queen
Let’s not be second rate - like a has-been
Let’s all live together in peace & tranquility
It’s idealistic not an impossibility

Brexit, exit
Are we gonna hack it?
Brexit, exit
It’s gonna cost a packet
Is a mistake or are we better off out?
Will going it alone give us more clout?
