LONDON, England -- Prime Minister Theresa May has called for an early election on June 8th — and in the style of Linkin Park's new song 'Good Goodbye'.
EU Goodbye[edit]
We'll say goodbye, we'll hit the road
Make these troubles disappear
On our own is how we'll go
'Cause we can't get respect around here
EU goodbye
In London, the rhythm is
Somewhat venomous
Enemies saying 'remain'
They're all looking highly illiterate
Blindly forgetting that there was a seat
And I feel we'll sit on it
They were here killing it
With an EU party, some idiot
And it makes you so mad
Somebody else could be voting against you
And it makes you so mad
That populist parties are rising around you
And you can't understand the fact
That it's over and done, we've got to have fun
You've got it from us, no making a fuss
Just go back to where you're from
We'll say goodbye, we'll hit the road
Make these troubles disappear
On our own is how we'll go
'Cause we can't get respect around here
EU goodbye
EU goodbye
EU goodbye
EU goodbye
Goodbye, good riddance
'Brexit' was found in every sentence
There was a time when we found it
Desperate, but now we're finished
Every day it was all late
Every night there was no love
Leaving solved these problems
Powers were saluting above
Loudly sings the peace dove,
That was off, now we need love,
Leaving with a new woman,
Now we're rising up above.
Making it with UK love.
Is this real love?
Yes, it's real love!
They were all wrong
We'll say goodbye, we'll hit the road
Make these troubles disappear
On our own is how we'll go
'Cause we can't get respect around here
EU goodbye
EU goodbye
EU goodbye
EU goodbye
Yo
Let me say goodbye to the EU
Let me say goodbye to the tax rate
Let me say goodbye to the troubles
Tell 'em that I'd rather be here at heaven's gate
Tell 'em that I'd rather be here where they're rightist
Tell 'em that we're ours, this is our life
And I still keep wondering why like
Never seen them think of leaving twice
Goodbye to the union
You can't tell the system we can't
One moment branded with a fascist mark
Now this exit thing is a lovely lark
Like goodbye to commission
Goodbye to the resistance
For them, there's no admittance
People's freedom's what you're hitting
And now we're inside, this is our vision
We'll say goodbye, we'll hit the road
Make these troubles disappear
On our own is how we'll go
'Cause we can't get respect around here
EU goodbye
EU goodbye
EU goodbye
EU goodbye
(We won't come back no more, also,
there's an election on June 8th)
Reception[edit]
Original artists Linkin Park told this author that the royalty cheque cleared and the honorable Prime Minister was entitled to adapt it as she saw fit. Original lyricist and featured rapper Stormzy, however, was not as sanguine. However, he has relatives in the States, who are sending him a "Pussy Hat" in the post, which he promised to wear in protest of this misuse of his lyrics.
The reaction on social media has been speedy from both sides of the argument, with 'leave' supporters, especially those who are Linkin Park fans, angered by the use of the song (in particular May's attempt at rap), and 'remain' supporters said that Theresa May should make a music video.
