Referendum dum dum...

ECCLES CAKES

Referendum what a bore

The man in the street will still be poor

And the rich will be richer than before

 

The press will descend on Manchester

And what she declares the world will swallow

The public’s chance to change tomorrow

Leave or stay? Remain or exit?

United Europe? Or Sporting Brexit?

The lying deceitful corrupt elite

Boring yawning I’m snoring asleep

 

We’re not voting for a personality

It’s not a party political thing

Is this our one shot at democracy?

Eurocrats – idealistic or pragmatic?

Floating voter don’t miss the boat yeah

The London centric meritocracy

Whatever they say there’ll be bureaucracy 

 

Referendum what a bore

The man in the street will still be poor

And the rich will be richer than before

 

The impracticality of reality

If the truth were told no one would vote

Fortress Europe we’re outside of the moat

It’s all insane – a stupid joke

Nobody knows if we’ll sink or float

The party you stand for might be wrong

It’s your chance to perform - play your own tune

 

Write your own lyrics and sing your own song

Don’t vote for this geezer or for that clown

If you’re feeling snookered - Take off your blinkers

Make up your own mind - it’s your turn to think

It’s not the way that the biscuit breaks

Pot luck - Russian Roulette - no room for mistakes

Like the lady said: Is it Eccles Cakes!
