I wanted to do a song that sounded like the Ramones, and wanted to have a rant about Brexit. This is the result - perhaps a bit fromage.
This song also came out of a conversation I had at work with someone who claims that 'Politicians always lie'. What is ironic is that the kind of people who say this then vote for people like Trump and the Brexit crew who shamlessly lie but seem to get away with it, while setting themselves up as telling the truth..
Also I couldn't be bothered to program the drum machine to finish properly so excuse the end :)
You ask why politicians always lie
You think that all they ever wants a bigger piece of pie
But now you've got your Brexit done
I hope that you have had your fun
So tell me why politicians alwayslie
There's nothing in my fahkin shopping basket
Since we went and left the single market
There's no staff in the local pub
No-one to bring me my grub
So did your fahkin' leaders also lie?
I guess that I'm just a remoaner
I should be thankful for all that has been gained
I guess I should just stop complaining
I guess that I should stand and clap
Now I've got my blue passport back..

This is really good, if a little depressing lyrically because of the B*r*x*t. I get the Ramones influence but also a bit of Pete Shelley in the vocals. Lovely!

If buzzsaw guitar is the wrong answer to the question, I don’t want to be right.
It’s good to see you can find the positives in your current circumstances, trivial as they may be.

Yup, great retro-punk vibe here.
I'm loving the relentless Ramones-style guitar-and-drums assault.
Nice punk lyrics, too.
Yes, at least you got a nice blue passport out of the whole thing.

Yeah. Rant away! Nice mix of Ramones and the Pistols.
