The Day That Brexit Broke My Brain

The day that Brexit broke my brain
The sun was shining I recall
And in my head there was a pain
The day that Brexit broke my brain
The voices came and said again
'Dividing, all dividing, all'
The day that Brexit broke my brain
The sun was shining I recall

Last night I stayed up late to see
Our Parliament in disarray
And dreams of Bedlam came to me
Last night I stayed up late to see
The frenzy and insanity
That's Britain as it is today
Last night I stayed up late to see
Our Parliament in disarray

'Division!' And again the call
The knell of the division bell
Dividing, all dividing, all
'Division!' And again the call
And all divided and we fall
In broken pieces into hell
'Division!' And again the call
The knell of the division bell

The sun is out and you may sing
Your hopeful songs with fingers crossed
And wonder what today will bring
The sun is out and you may sing
Of hope and keep on whistling
My voices say that hope is lost
The sun is out and you may sing
Your hopeful songs with fingers crossed

The day that Brexit broke my brain
The sun was shining I recall
And in my head there was a pain
The day that Brexit broke my brain
The voices came and said again
'Dividing, all dividing, all'
The day that Brexit broke my brain
The sun was shining I recall
