Ode to Joy - Anthem of European Union (English/German lyrics)

Multi-lateral trade deals are bad.
Remember?
May said that her deal would give us back “control of our money, laws and borders”, while protecting business and jobs. None of that is true. Nowhere is there any evidence to be found in the lengthy withdrawal deal.
For the foreseeable, we are in a customs union we cannot leave without EU permission and our borders are open to EU citizens. We are paying £39bn, business has no certainty for future investment and as for jobs – well, let’s just cross our fingers and hope. May pretends that some distant sunlit trade deal, hazily sketched, will one day emerge from the political declaration that accompanies the deal. Will it be in two years, 10 years, sometime, never? No one knows.
All the devilish dilemmas remain. All the impossibilities are as impossible as they were on referendum day – but now they are solemnly written down on paper.

Lost in the sky coloured oils of Merrie Land
You can fly to the moon
One day

No, I don't remember any such thing.
I probably should have said out of favor...
The reasons for doing it would largely be political; our POTUS is letting Merkel and Macron, and May (oh my!) self-destruct, which could work out more favorably anyway. :^)
