The Island

Bm
Dear anyone who hears this
                       D
I'm trapped upon the island
                       Bb
The natives have gone wild and
                        Bm
They're making bad decisions
Very bad decisions
                       D
It might be what you fed them
                       Bb
It might be what you read them
               Bm
On the news at 10 cos
They don't play well with others
                             D
And can't process different colors
                             Bb
You'd best batten down the hatches
                            Bm
With fry ups and football matches
And imperial restoration
                            D
Why are you proud of the nation?
                           Bb
Little England not Great Britain
                              Bm   Bb
I am trapped upon the island

Bm
And where are our fearless leaders?
                       D
They surely won't deceive us
                     Bb
With climate change deniers
                Bm
And Noah's Ark believers
There's polar bears in Scotland
                    D
There's vampires in London
                              Bb
There's dinosaurs across the UK
That I'd hoped had gone extinct

G             D      A
And I can't believe it
         G
Or maybe I can
D         Bb
  I never did put it past you
G               D
What have you done?
    A             G
You idiots, what have you gone and done?
D             Bb
  I'm trapped upon the island
G     D     Bb      G
  no no-no-no-no-no
G     D     Bb      G
  no no-no-no-no-no
G     D     Bb      G
  no no-no-no-no-no
D           Bb                  Bm   Bb
  I'm trapped upon the island

Bm
Ha ha whose idea was this?
                        D
Cos I feel the joke is over
                      Bb
But he's only done a runner
                       Bm
And sold you down the river
Bm
So let's hope you're a good swimmer
                               D
And let's hope you don't eat dinner
                          Bb
Let's hope you don't need nothing else
                                  G
Because you're dying in your own shit

G             D      A
And I can't believe it
         G
Or maybe I can
D         Bb
  I never did put it past you
G               D
What have you done?
    A             G
You idiots, what have you gone and done?
D             Bb
  I'm trapped upon the island
G     D     Bb      G
  no no-no-no-no-no
G     D     Bb      G
  no no-no-no-no-no
G     D     Bb      G
  no no-no-no-no-no
D           Bb                  Bm   Bb
  I'm trapped upon the island
G     D     Bb      G
  no no-no-no-no-no
  (I'm trapped upon the island)
G     D     Bb      G
  no no-no-no-no-no
  (I'm trapped upon the island)
G     D     Bb      G
  no no-no-no-no-no
  (I'm trapped upon the island)
