The Brexit Song (It’s Hard to Break Free from a Union) - Live Version Lyrics by Foil Arms and Hog

2022

[Chorus]
[Foil]
At Brexit they got frustrated
[Arms, spoken]
Ah, they did
[Foil]
As it was dragged out and non-stop debated
[Hog, spoken]
Still at it
[Foil]
So we Irish we feel obligated
[Arms, spoken]
We do
[Foil]
To explain to them one simple fact
[Arms, spoken]
True enough
[ALL]
That we don't understand how the English can't see
After all they've experienced colonially
The one thing that's clear from their history
Is that it's hard to break free from a union
[Verse #1]
[Arms, spoken]
It's awful hard to break from a union, lads
[Foil, spoken]
That's true
[Arms, spoken]
Sure, wouldn't we know all about that in our little island?
[Foil, spoken]
We would indeed
[ALL]
In Ireland for hundreds of years we triеd
We even lеft part of the country behind
So we can't understand all the English surprise
That it's hard to break free from a union
[Verse #2]
[Arms, spoken]
What about India, lads?
[Foil]
Oh, India was a biggy!
[ALL]
After 200 years being occupied
The British they finally stepped aside
When asked, Mahatma Gandhi replied
[Arms, spoken]
"It is one of life's undeniable facts"
{ALL}
That it's hard to break free from a union
[Verse #3]
[Foil, spoken]
What about the lads down under?
[Arms, spoken]
Oh, the Australians?
[ALL]
Separated by thousands of miles of sea
They still have the queen on their currency
It should have been Crocodile Dundee...
But it's hard to break free from a union
[Verse #4]
[Arms, spoken]
Then there was the Egyptians!
[Foil, spoken]
Oh yeah, we won't forget them
[ALL]
After 100 years of freedom
Their shit's still in the British Museum
Even Tutankhamen's grandson had to pay in to see him...
But it's hard to break free from a union
[Verse #5]
[Arms, spoken]
But sure, they weren't the only countries, in fairness, lads
[Foil, spoken]
Not by a long shot
[ALL]
Botswana, Bahrain, Qatar, Nauru
New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan too
Saint Kitts and Nevis, Seychelles, Palestine
Sri Lanka and Malta, all took their time
[Verse #6]
[ALL]
Myanmar, Mauritius, Lesotho, Kuwait
Kenya, Jordan, Iraq had to wait
Guyana, Grenada, Fiji, and Sudan
Jamaica, Malawi took ages to plan
[Verse #7]
[Arms, spoken]
There's loads more countries, mossy, you're just going to have to speed her up
[Foil]
Brunei, Belize, Barbados, Bahamas
Canada, Cyprus, Dominica, Tonga
South Africa, Solomon Islands, Uganda
Malaysia, Libya, Kiribati, and Ghana
The Gambia, Yemen, Tanzania, Tuvalu
Zambia, Zimbabwe, Maldives, Vanuatu
Trinidad and Tobago, Swaziland, and St. Lucia
UAE, USA, Antigua and Barbuda, Afghanistan, St. Vincent
[ALL]
And the Grenadines...
Ah, yes, it's hard to break free from a union
[Interlude]
[Foil, spoken]
Oh laddie boys, that's one hell of a list
[Arms, spoken]
Thanks be to Jesus for Wikipedia!
[Foil, spoken]
That's the one
Tin whistle solo!
[Arms, spoken]
Here we go!
*Arms makes tin whistle noises*
[Chorus]
[ALL]
So believe when we say that we know how you feel
But please stop debating, the deal is the deal
And now you've no truck drivers, it's hard to conceal...
[Hog, spoken (Boris Johnson impression)]
Well, so looking at the facts...
As they are...
Now it's...
It's easy to see that the, the...
The, the place you find, find yourself in...
Well of course...
Within, in Peppa Pig world...
It's easy to see...
The-the-the-the, it's quite hard to-to get away with having a party whenever the fuck you want...
And-and-and indeed, indeed...
It's very hard to break free from a union
[ALL]
Now we know it's not our fight to fight
And leave or remain, well we don't give a shite
But it's still ruining the news every single night
[Arms, spoken]
Why lads?
[Foil]
'Cause it's
[ALL]
Hard to break free from a union
Hey!
