Full English Brexit

Billy Bragg

Intro: verse 1 My neighbours don't drink at the local Or have kippers for breakfast like me The food that they eat smells disgusting They'd rather drink coffee than tea verse 2 It's true that their kids are respectful They gave me their seat on the bus But it's just that there's so many of them That I fear what will become of us verse 3 I'm not racist, all I want is To make things how they used to be But change is strange and Nobody's listening to me verse 4 I cheered when our side won the Cold War Spread freedom and peace all around Now there's folks speaking Russian in Tesco's It's a shame the wall had to come down Verse 5 I know some are fleeing from war zones To keep their young children from harm But my parents stayed put through the Blitz years And me? I was sent to a farm Verse 6 Yeah the sun shines, but sometimes I don't feel like this is my country But to say so? Oh no I never get no sympathy Verse 7 Once we ruled over an empire So it feels like some kind of defeat To comply with rules drawn up by strangers And measure in metres not feet Verse 8 We don't want to go but by Jingo If we can't be in charge, then we must But don't be offended, dear neighbour It's not you: this is all about us Verse 9 But it's alright, alright I think I've found a remedy Yes it's alright, gonna be alright It's a Full English Brexit for me Outro
