Are You An Inny Or An Outty?

by The Now Nows

/
1.
Searching for some light in all this heat Trying to make some sense of all I hear and read Give me all your "facts", lay out your stalls Tell me tales of eurocrats and Health and Safety laws I swear I’ll pay attention I will try to stay awake …. It’s dull and yet mysterious and hazy This Byzantine and curious bureaucracy I’d like to understand it all but hey I'm busy And now you’re going to ask me am I Inny or an Outty I don’t know! I don’t know how it works, or what it does Is it good or evil, oh, and how much does it cost? I’d really like to make some sense of it It reminds me of the sewers: good for us, yet full of shit Should we celebrate it, denigrate it, please We’d like to know … It’s plush and yet ridiculous and crazy Their magnificent and subtle eau de plomacy I’d like to understand it all but hey I'm puny And now you’re going to ask me am I Inny or an Outty I don’t know! Should we stay or should we go now? Either way there will be trouble. Bienvenue or Gutendag? Auf Wiedershein, Salut, Old Chap! Adios, Tot ziens, arriverderce - oh, Lord help me Is it a talking shop that stopped our endless wars Or a navel-gazing Tower of Babel we should all ignore? Should we take the plunge and strike out on our own? If the nation states are dreaming, in our nightmares we're alone Are we better off together or forever unwelcome? It’s complex, enigmatical and shady A Perplexing, somewhat beautiful monstrosity I’d like to understand it all but hey I'm tipsy And now you’re going to ask me if I’m Inny or an Outty I don’t know!

about

A song exploring the upcoming referendum on the UK's relationship with the EU. It's all complicated and boring and yet important and bloody stupid. And that's just the song ... Good Luck!
