Oh Dear What Can The Matter Be (Part 2) - !!!NEW!!!

Following on from my previous parody of Oh Dear What Can The Matter Be (see here), I decided that the situation in America warranted its own version. And here it is:

Oh Dear, What Can The Matter Be also not by Anon
Oh dear, what can the matter be
America has voted Trump in, you see
Now he’s in charge of their Presidency
What on earth have they done now?

Despite the pleas of tons of celebrities
They thought he’d help to destroy the disease
That they feel’s destroying the colonies
What on earth have they done now?

We thought that they would come to see sense one day
Not let bigotry and racism hold sway
Supremists are now shouting hip-hip-hooray
What on earth have they done now?

It’s viewed as a win for groups like the KKK
For them it’s a glorious red letter day
They think that they now have a chance to stay
What on earth have they done now?

Hate and violence are all over the TV
Pain and suffering seems to be all we see
Extremist groups are filling the country
What on earth have they done now?

But
It’s not the end of the world – oh no, it’s not
Trump has won but he’ll never be on top
Haters will hate but then we will make them stop
That is what we must do now

The racist groups are the ones in decline
They’ve kept their colours hidden all this time
But they’ll see their views still won’t tow the line
That is what we must do now

We won’t give in to petty in-fighting
We must stay strong and keep on wrong-righting
Show them how to keep letting the light in
That is what we must do now

Trump wants to cause lots of division
But if that happens is not his decision
We will force him to make a revision
That is what we must do now

Oh dear, what can the matter be
America has voted Trump in, you see
But he doesn’t speak for all of us you’ll see
We will show them all and how

Oh Dear What Can The Matter Be? - !!!NEW!!!

Oh dear, what can the matter be? The EU referendum - that's what.
This started off as one simple verse but it soon expanded and twisted to become this.

Oh Dear, What Can The Matter Be not by Anon
Oh dear, what can the matter be?
We voted to leave the EU last month, you see
Now Cameron’s gone and Boris is Secretary
What on earth have we done now?

Thought that we would want to remain but he
Didn’t count on racists and bigotry
Teresa May’s now running the count-a-ry
What on earth have we done now?

The pound is up and down like a see-a-saw
It’s a sight that we’ve never seen before
We don’t know if Europe will close the door
What on earth have we done now?

The Scots are riled and want a new chance to flee
Didn’t think that this was what staying would mean
May is poised to launch Article 50
What on earth have we done now?

Need multicultural diversity
Instead chose our own individuality
Now hate crimes are all over the TV
What on earth have we done now?

Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Remain voters bemoan their lost victory
But that’s not how to move on from a defeat
That is what we must do now

Unite to save what’s left of humanity
Show the racists that they’re the minority
Focus on boosting the economy
That is what we must do now

The pound’s poor plight is not as bad as you think
It came back up shortly after it did sink
The world and we just need to have a rethink
That is what we must do now

The vote was close and a narrow victory
(But) to recast votes would hinder democracy
We must not let ourselves fall to misery
That is what we must do now

Scrapping and fighting is what we must not allow
Show what to be British does mean and how
To defeat we are not going to kowtow
That is what we must do now
