lyrics

Well first it was spending too much on campaigns,
Saying out with the foreigners, the EU's to blame.

Using Facebook to sell propaganda to us
And a ten foot high lie on the side of a bus.



It seems honesty’s all out of fashion
These are the rigs of the times
Times me boys

These are the rigs of the times.


Let’s take Brexit and COVID-19 on the chin;

Every issue’s a battle that we’re going to win!
'Cause it's always the billionaire winners who choose

The value of life that we all stand to lose.

Because honesty’s all out of fashion…

Now it’s clap to say thanks to the brave NHS.
Well we may as well clap to save Tinkerbell next.
No more pay for the nurses, no visors or masks,

Just millions in contracts for the boys in first class,

Singing honesty’s all out of fashion…

Here’s to all the small businesses falling apart;
Living on credit’s a delicate art.
For three hundred a month on the dole, many thanks,
Pay the rent, pay the mortgage: it all pays the banks.

Honesty’s all out of fashion…

Now the very best dream that we could find
Is to pop them all off in a high gale of wind
And when they get up there, the cloud it will burst
And the biggest old rascals come tumbling down first

Singing honesty’s all out of fashion…
