Story behind the song
In the 2019 British General Election, Boris Johnson's Tories targeted the traditional Labour voting 'Workington Man' to pick up the votes needed to form a majority government.
Lyrics
I'm a Workington man On the minimum wage I can only afford A minimal cage But Boris loves me Yes Boris loves me Cos he relies on me For his victory Every weekend I drink beer and watch league Jeremy gives Intellectual fatigue He don't love me Thinks he's above me Just another who wants To push and shove me I resent all the people Who don't have to work hard can afford bigger boxes And maybe a yard And I hate all the rich kids With euro-careers Who don't understand The worries and fears Of the Workington man Of the Workington man Of the Workington man Of the Workington man The left seems in chaos The right has a plan One's hated by rabbis The other imams Don't want someone foreign Emptying my bedpan I'm so insecure I'm a Workington man I drive a Mondeo But not out of choice If I could then I would have a top line rolls royce And I'm sick of the way That I don't have a voice None of the leaders Makes me rejoice I resent all the people Who don't have to work hard can afford bigger boxes And maybe a yard And I hate all the rich kids With euro-careers Who don't understand The worries and fears Of the Workington man Of the Workington man Of the Workington man Of the Workington man I might not be degreed But I do have a brain You ignore it again And again and again I voted to Leave You must think me insane Not to see you trying For a stealthy Remain You took us for granted Well that's nothing new But we're sick of it so We are punishing you And its not just Workington That's burning with hate Look at half of Your own party mate I resent all the people Who don't have to work hard can afford bigger boxes And maybe a yard And I hate all the rich kids With euro-careers Who don't understand The worries and fears Of the Workington man Of the Workington man Of the Workington man Of the Workington man
