Turns out our politics are broken. Who would have known?
Who killed UK Democracy?
I, said the Non-binding Referendum,
with my fraud and hypocrisy
I killed UK Democracy.

Who saw it die?
We, said the UK public
with our uninformed eyes
We saw it die.

Who took its place?
I, said Boris Johnson
with my grinning face
I took its place....
Who'll make the shroud?
We, said the Tories,
with our lies shouted loud,
We’ll make the shroud.

Who'll dig its grave?
We, said Labour
As one final favour
We'll dig its grave.

Who'll say the prayers?
We, said the Media,
with our deceit and our smears
We’ll say the prayers.
Who'll be the clerk?
I, said Farage,
My ego needs a massage,
I'll be the clerk.

Who'll be chief mourner?
I, said the Queen
I’ll mourn for what’s been
I’ll be chief mourner.

Who'll carry the coffin?
We, said the Off-Shore Financiers
Though expect no tears
We'll carry the coffin.
Who'll sing a psalm?
We, said the MPs,
With our expenses and sleaze
We'll sing a psalm

Who'll toll the bell?
We, said Peers
To deafen their ears
We’ll toll the bell.

But Our Children weren’t consoled
But derided our hypocrisy
When they heard the bell toll
for poor UK Democracy.
