Reel Tape - Brexit Lyrics

"I'm quite shocked to be honest, I thought we all would've stayed in
But I think it's bad to be honest man"
"Oh it's heartbreaking... the outside world is quite right-wing
And it's really really scary for our generation
Really really scary for our generation"

"Brexit" "Funny isn't it?"
"What I have to say: you're not laughing now, are you?"
"Brexit-Fu**ing boring. Lots of money"
"350M £ a week"

I'm hearing twisted news
Awareness melting slowly
Around you
He said it wasn't true
The government is gambling
With our chips

"That's the last time you're applauding here!"

And now I'm just a runaway
Yeah now I'm just a runaway
"Funny isn't it?"
Cause now I've got to runaway
But I "Take back control!"
Don't want to runaway

"Brexit means Brexit"

"It's not simply a marketplace, it is a community
Where every single worker has rights, to holiday pay
A Maximum working week, so that the good employer cannot be undercut
By the bad and the bad by the worst, in a Race to the bottom
And we shouldn't just be a member of the European Union
We should be a leader of the European Union"
"It is a community, community..."
"What I have to say: you're not laughing now, are you?"

At once a mighty wave
Replaced the settled landscape
"They say we have no choice!"
Around you

And you gave me no signs
"Britain!"
Said everything was lovely
But I knew
"They say we have no choice!"

"Funny isn't it?"
"Funny isn't it?"
"You're not laughing now, are you?"

"YEEAAHH!"
"ORDER!"

"Really really scary"
"For our generation"

"Brexit!"

And now I'm just a runaway
Yeah now I'm just a runaway
And now I am not a runaway
And I don't even get my say
So now we've got to runaway
But I don't want to runaway

"What has the European Convention for Human Rights, ever done for us?"
"Freedom of religion"
"Freedom of expression"
"Freedom from torture... from discrimination"
"The European Convention for Human Rights"
"The right to a fair trial"
"The right to privacy"
"Freedom from slavery"
"The Good Friday agreement"
"Protecting victims of domestic violence"
"Peace in northern Ireland"

"That's the last time you're applauding here..."
