Swallowing Lies

The great British nation adopted a lie,

I don't know why we adopted a lie,

Perhaps we'll die.

The great British nation, we followed a twat,

Well, fancy that? We followed a twat.

We followed the twat who told us the lie,

I don't know why we adopted the lie,

Perhaps we'll die.

The great British nation, we believed in a bus,

I don't know why; that's not like us.

We believed in the bus that was owned by the twat,

I don't know why the fuck we did that.

We followed the twat who told us the lie,

I don't know why we adopted the lie,

Perhaps we'll die.

The great British nation, we wanted blue passes,

I don't know when we became such arses.

We wanted blue passes because of the bus,

It's too bloody late now to kick up a fuss.

We believed in the bus that was owned by the twat,

I don't know why the fuck we did that.

We followed the twat who told us the lie,

I don't know why we adopted the lie,

Perhaps we'll die.

The great British nation, we yearned to be free,

To throw off the shackles of EU tyranny.

We needed our freedom to manage the virus,

Which helped us ignore the way they betrayed us.

The freedom we won bought us shiney new passes,

Please explain once again how we became such arses.

We wanted blue passes because of the bus,

It's too bloody late now to kick up a fuss.

We believed in the bus that was owned by the twat,

I don't know why the fuck we did that.

We followed the twat who told us the lie,

I don't know why we adopted the lie,

Perhaps we'll die.

The great British public, we salute Freedom Day!

That's the day that the virus can really make hay.

We needed the virus to kill off the old,

The sick, the frail and the stupidly bold.

This plague island nation now stands on its own,

An outcast the civilised world must disown.

The freedom we won to get shiny new passports,

Hasn't helped much in the way of getting food transports.

We wanted blue passes because of the bus,

Maybe the bus will feed all of us?

We believed in the bus that was owned by the twat,

I don't know why the fuck we did that.

We followed the twat who told us the lie,

I don't know why we adopted the lie,

Perhaps we'll die.

One hundred and fifty thousand lives gambled to date,

While the government stokes up the fires of hate.

One hundred and fifty thousand lives, and they show no remorse.

They're dead, of course.
