A sorry tale of Nincompetence...

lyrics

Nincompoops
When you voted these nincompoops in
With their arrogance swagger and lies
Well you brought forth a plague on Little England
That has cost many thousands of lives

When you voted for fear not facts
And you circled your houses with fire
Tell me who is to blame if y’ castle burns down
‘Cause you put your cross on a liar

When you voted these ‘out’ people in
With their “It’s every man for himself”
‘Though they killed off the olds folks with nincompetence
You’re still blaming everyone else

Like the stranger that knocks on your door
Who’s been tortured and battered and chained
Don’t give him a crust ‘cause he might take the loaf
Just send him back from whence he came

Well across the big water there dwells
A monster with toupee and tan
How, America the beautiful,
Did you end up with that kind of man?


These people want power not pain
Want their wealth and their “Up the drawbridge”
‘Til we’re asking each other “Where’s Wally now?”
Well he’s hiding somewhere in a fridge

Oh the shadow behind no. 10
Orders “Stay at home! Don’t venture forth!
And while you and the kids are climbing up walls
We’ll be off on vacation up north”

Well you voted these nincompoops in
And we’ve still got the Brexit to come
And there’s plenty of time to still get it wrong
And for Dom to go home to his Mum
