Oh Oh Canada

Oh Canada North of USA Not quite American Eh but not so far away Oh Canada Homeless native land One tongue's lost some spirit The other one's chirping commands Scraping for symbols In rusted railway ties Full of tired slogans A flagging leaf waves by Oh Canada Image vacant cries A dove's heart is bleeding In an eagle's eyes Oh Canada Big picture dreams Big picture land Big white wash it seems Sea to sea to sea you see It's digital hearths aglow One big happy family Trapped in a tv show, oh Oh Canada Empire won't make you free The new world order's so old So avant-garde for thee Oh what can you say By the dim sacred light The pride of power swallowing Smiling in empty delight
