5168 Days lyrics
by Seb Lowe
Five thousand, one hundred and sixty-eight days of the UK ruled by a Tory government
Five thousand, one hundred and sixty-eight days of failure reinforced by lies and corruption
First, they gave you Brexit and the cost of life
Took away your protest rights
COVID took a ton of lives
Called the youth a "sacrifice"
NHS waiting lists, making friends with racists
No policy on poverty
Crackdown on refugees
The proverbial doormat they'll step on to get votes back
Put 'em in a boat, stat
Change, don't approach that
What's the trick? Call a genocide a conflict
Now every politician's f*cking in on it
Fourteen yеars, a hundred sixty-eight months
Five thousand, onе hundred and sixty-eight nights
Five thousand, one hundred and sixty-eight days in which the UK has consistently declined
Why?
David Cameron, what was happening
When you created your own f*cking nightmare?
I think you were quite aware Brexit wasn't necessary
You only cared about your own legacy
Now your legacy proudly stands as nothing but
Instigating ten years of lies in government
Theresa May, with all said and done
How the f*ck did you contribute to the EU referendum?
You could not, would not, finish at last
The country was left to the whims of a psychopath
Boris Johnson, goes without mention
He'd lie about breakfast if it meant that he got seconds
Did you smile at the face of death
As your cronies described it as "unfortunate excess"?
Were you systematically withdrawn
Or were you really as thick as you let on?
Liz Truss stumbled in not long after
Her fifty days serving ended in disaster
Rishi Sunak, where do we start?
With another f*cking narcissist who could've been smart
Sun-actually, factually, swiftly elected
As a billionaire posh boy with zero perspective
Lest we forget all the c*nts that you gave a job
Braverman, Gove, Matt Hanc*ck, and Rees-Mogg
Every single sycophant who stood idly by
Or directly threw logs at a country on fire
Are we overreacting a bit?
If we were in power, would we know how to manage it?
Or are we missing a point when we ask such a question?
Is knowing how to lead about kowledge or intention?
Oxford, master's, politics degree
But jokes about the food that the poor kids eat
Great Britain has been passed through the fingers of thieves
For five thousand, one hundred and sixty-eight f*cking days
What have we achieved?
