She may not be popular among musicians and artists but a recent song – She’s a liar, liar. She’s a liar, liar. You can’t trust her, no, no, no, no – released Friday has been doing the rounds on the internet. Dedicated to U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May, the song has already topped U.K. iTunes chart, making its way up to number two position, reports said.

The song, Liar Liar GE2017, has beaten all records and has left behind top 10 singers including Miley Cyrus and Ed Sheeran to bag the second spot at the time of writing this report. On their official Twitter account, Captain Ska posted a screenshot of the top songs chart and also mentioned that their next stop is the official top 40 list.

The song features various speeches and interviews of Theresa May, followed by “She’s a liar, liar. She’s a liar, liar. You can’t trust her, no, no, no, no,” the report said.

“When there’s nurses going hungry and schools in decline I don’t recognize this broken country of mine,” the song goes on.

“We all know politicians like telling lies. Big ones, little ones, porky pies,” the song continues, “Saying they’re strong and stable won’t disguise, we’re still being taken for a ride.”

The song was originally released in 2010 and has been revamped and re-introduced again in 2017. “The 2010 release has kind of been around for a while and I ended up getting so many messages to remix it I thought I’d do it,” Jake, a member of Captain Ska band told the Huffington Post.

“It’s overwhelming to be at number two now, we’re all freelance session musicians in London, so we’re totally amazed by it. Original music, and especially political music, doesn’t have traction anymore. Everyone is totally over the moon with it,” he said.

“The success of this song shows people are fed up with this government of the rich, for the rich. We’re overwhelmed with the support and our message is that people do have the power to change society if we act together,” the band said in a statement, Metro News reported.

All the proceeds generated from the song between May 26 and June 8 will be split between food banks across the U.K. and The People’s Assembly Against Austerity, the band members said.

Despite the song being on number two position in the iTunes chart, radio stations refused to play it as they are required to remain impartial before the general elections scheduled for June 8.
