Voting to set us free?
A vote to make us poorer.
A vote to split us up.
A vote to rip us to pieces
Selling the country a pup!
Based on lies and arrogance
So much for project fear.
Ideology masked by populism
As the cliff face draws near.
Smarmy, arrogant nationalists
Push their crazy plans –
Fascists and populists
With the future in their hands.
They’ve split the country into tribes
As the hate-crime soars.
Xenophobia reigns
Spreading its racist spores.
Both sides now entrenched
Not willing to give an inch.
Logic and rationality victims
Of the unwillingness to flinch.
As worst fears become real
Revealing the complexity
In a toxic battle of propaganda
And masochistic insanity.
As the moment of truth approaches
Are they voting to set us free?
Or in this culmination
To fuck the whole country?
