We will bomb them!
(And we will sell our bombs to those who fund them)
(We will lamentably create more refugees)
And reject or detain these “migrants” as they reach our shores.
We must show our strength.
(We will throw punches with our eyes closed tight)
(We will lamentably have civilian causalities)
But no causalities shall have passports stamped “HRM”.
We must not do nothing, as women and children die.
(Our lips remain sealed for tyrannical allies)
(We lamentably have no long-term plan)
Our will remains resolute in the face of despair.
We are Great Britain. The world needs us.
(Grasping for relevance, we will pummel the earth)
(We lamentably have no idea what to do)
Destroy and “rebuild” is what we do best
We will not let terror win!
(War without end is terror defined)
