The Low Flying Pigeons - I Tried To Tell You That!

I said "You know It won't be long
’til it all goes wrong"
You didn't care a bit
You voted for Brexshit
I tried to give you hard facts
But you didn't care much for that
You said "You’d had enough
Of Johnnies taking all our stuff

The pound took a dive (I tried to tell you that)
It became harder to survive (I tried to tell you that)
The side of the bus was a lie (I tried to tell you that)
That the politicians would deny (I tried to tell you that)

But you don't listen

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink
You can give the stupid information but you can't make them think

I told you that life would get much harder
But you wanted to go back to the good times of your grandfather
When I said you'd destroy the future for your children
You said "Show me what benefits we've been given"

The goods in the shops became much dearer (I tried to tell you that)
The Britain you dreamed of does not get any nearer (I tried to tell you that)
Fights broke out in families across the nation
Friends swore each other to eternal damnation
The government just talks about little boats
And does nothing to keep the economy afloat

The pound took a dive (I tried to tell you that)
It became harder to survive (I tried to tell you that)
The side of the bus was a lie (I tried to tell you that)
That the politicians would deny (I tried to tell you that)
