Where Do I Start

We've just left the EU
We have and it's amazing
It's what we've been waiting for for four years
It means we get our own country back we get our sovereignty back
What does that actually mean
In practical terms what do you mean
Well the country's ours again and we can
Have a say-a lot more say- a lot more rule to what happens in it
Over which rules I don't know
Our court laws will be changed into ours so we have what say goes on in this country
Human rights and everything will be turned into ours laws
And we will have the right to
Well our courts will have the right to say what goes on instead of Germany
Does your daily life change as of now do you think
No

Look where do I start
As a kid I thought more people would have care in their hearts
But being young is just like swimming unaware of the sharks
That can be lurking underneath waiting to tear you apart
I wasn't scared of the dark but I know people that are
People trynna make it hard for people coming from far
People focusing on color more than any other part
People sitting round a table watching footie at the bar
It's disturbing cause they don't have no sympathy
Talking bout how life is great while throwing shade at refugees
Acting like it wasn't us that made them leave their home and flee
And getting pissed they're working like that isn't something that we need
Can't you see we're low on food ever since Brexit
GPD's been going like experts expected
I'm a British citizen who planned to get a student loan
But cause I lived in Portugal I tried and got rejected
Like damn everyone complains but it's accepted
It's shocking but electric
The planet's getting hectic
The government are shitty but they're people we elected
The poor who wanna study here should probably forget it
Man it's fucked up as a politician you can lie on television with no fear of getting locked up
But if you smoke a little weed in your free time you can go to prison man this shit just has me dumbstruck
And guess what, in Portugal taking drugs isn't even seen as criminal offense
There's a reason for that we had some issues with heroine
Changed the law and then the heroine issue came to an end
Look it up tell your friends get your family to listen
People get convicted cause they're fighting with addiction
They're the victims in this system, why don't we try to assist them
Do you think they're gonna stop because they spent some time in prison like

Hopefully it might get a lot more people together
Hopefully a lot more people will come together over this and
Why would they come together when half the country passionately didn't want this
I don't know I mean I don't understand why they wanted to to remain
And I can't understand why they fought us so hard to stay

We need to focus on the truth
Focus on the poor and maybe focus on the youth
Focus on the people in the streets without a roof
And maybe focus on the people who'd been fighting with depression with their neck Inside a noose
We've got suicide rates rising higher than the empire state
Broken families with tears filling entire lakes
The internet is breaking us and leaving us divided
Maybe this is how our empire breaks
In a pandemic but still can't seem to agree
I know there's people saying that it's all a big conspiracy
Cause the misinformation online is all they ever see
No fact checks just retweets to spread the disease
I'm begging you please read the article your sending
There's people on the internet that lie to get attention
They just want your clicks cause that's money that you give them
Then they trap you in the bubble that we call the algorithm and it's
The beginning of the end I get why there's so many people chilling on the fence
The left are getting triggered when you didn't mean offence
And the right support the type of thought that's barely making sense
Now I believe the left is right and yes the right is wrong
And at the time I'm trynna write this song
My views are kind of strong
And maybe that is just the vibe I'm on
Or maybe I just really hate debating QAnon
In the town where I grew up everything is split
Half the people that I knew refuse to use a testing kit
Think about it that some stressful shit I'm not gonna lie
They believe that if you got the jab this year you're gonna die
You can't disprove it so I don't even try
The worlds been getting crazy as it's changing with the times
I wanna rearrange it but I don't know where to start
So fuck it imma just go with my heart

Do you trust Boris Johnson to deliver the kind of Brexit that you want
I'm gonna put my trust in Boris Johnson at the moment
I believe what he says and I believe he wants to do the right thing
The British Prime Minister Boris Johnson facing huge political pressure
Has admitted that he was at a party in the garden of Downing street in May twenty twenty
But he claimed it was a work event
At the time of the gathering people across the UK could only leave home for work
Exercise or essential supplies
They could only meet one person from another household in an outdoor public place
And that had to be socially distanced
There is an important distinction to be made here in-between
People who question the severity of lockdown versus people like Barbara
Who believe that the pandemic has been orchestrated by a global elite
The latter is textbook conspiracy theory
Cause I don't believe in the Covid, I don't believe it's real
The pandemic has galvanized an army of conspiracy theorists
From antivaxxers to anarchists, the far-left, the far-right and everything in-between
Having these opinions and beliefs, does it give you a sense of empowerment Empowerment
I do feel kind of superior to people who don't want know and who don't want to wake up
Uh uh and you know, what we call what we call the sheep
And it makes you feel strong
A lot of the time, but a lot of the time I've been terrified
Have you
I'm absolutely terrified in my own country and I have been for months
And ever since these lockdowns began to be perpetuated
Because I realized what they were doing to us
