🇬🇧 Rain McMey Presents: “Just For Being English These Days”
For when the country’s falling apart but you’re still pretending everything’s normal because you’ve already had enough existential crises this week.
There’s honestly nothing more British than watching a man go on live telly, shout
“You can get arrested just for being English these days!”
get a full round of applause…
and then toddle off to bed like “night night x”
before waking up in the actual House of Lords.
Like—okay mate.
Iconic levels of delusion.
That whole circus — the pint-in-hand theatrics, the “just a normal bloke” routine, the cheeky grin at the wrong crowd, the fearmongering dressed up as patriotism —
that’s exactly what “Just For Being English These Days” rips apart.
Rain McMey grabs the whole messy spectacle:
– the pub pit stops
– the “I’m one of you!” persona that absolutely isn’t
– the dodgy photo ops with people you wouldn’t leave your drink near
– the “they’re coming over here” nonsense
– the whispering in back rooms
– the nationalistic cosplay
…and turns it into a song that’s weirdly funny, painfully accurate, and far too relatable for anyone who’s doomscrolling before breakfast.
The lyrics hit with that “haha I’m laughing but also I’m genuinely distressed” energy:
“My man’s a geezer, a top lad, Caesar,
Winston Churchill in a freezer…
Be my deceiver—
and you can give it to me.”
It’s giving:
political manipulation but make it catchy,
propaganda but wearing athleisure,
banter but with real consequences.
This song is for you if:
– you keep reading headlines like “surely this is satire?”
– you want to love the country but the country keeps doing… all this
– you can spot a performance hidden behind a pint glass
– you’re equal parts exhausted, furious, and amused against your will
Because yeah, the chorus slaps —
but it’s also a flashing red sign.
Be my deceiver.
And far too many people say, “Yeah alright then.”
