Album: Horses in the Sky

Canada oh canada i never been your son
You're a genteel rent boy
Choking on your tongue
And your bankers' vain plazas never nurtured no-one

And concrete expanses laying fallow in the sun
And your cities all collapsing while your corrupt mayors shrug

And your grown-ups all gone bankrupt and your children all on drugs
And your children are on drugs
And your doe-eyed policemen demanding more guns
And your distained farmers waiting on the flood

Canada oh canada i ain't ever been your kin
Overfed and easily led and twisting in the wind
Your senators all in diapers and stinking of gin

Shop and save
Beneath the western sun
Bought and paid for
Teddy roosevelt's guns
