Arrogant Worms The The Canadian Crisis Song Lyrics

The Canadian Crisis Song Lyrics

Often on the weekend i'll jump in my car

 I won't fill up the tank although i'm going far

 And if somebody asks me if i'm going to a bar

 I'll say i'm shopping 'cross the border in the usa

 I don't go down there to buy my groceries

 I respect our farmers and our factories

 I don't believe that "local" means it's poor in quality

 It's just our goddamn prices are too high

 

 (if he stays away for just two days)

 I'll get one hundred dollars duty-free

 If it adds to more i won't claim it for

 (he won't declare the products if they're in his trunk)

 

 Although it is canada that i call home

 I don't cheer for the yankees when i'm in the dome

 I didn't swell with pride during the desert storm

 It's just that i don't want to pay the tax

 (it's just that he's too cheap to pay the tax)

 

 (yes, it's just like this, he's a loyalist)

 I'll only shop at malls that fly our flag

 (and he'll tell bob rae that he just won't pay)

 Unless i need my unemployment benefits

 (get a job, get a job, get a job)

 

 Now everyone is doing the same thing as me

 They're doing what they can to beat the gst

 They're lining up for miles at the duty-free

 So i bought a jc penny's store in buffalo

 (so everybody come on down to buffalo)

 

 (cause if you stay away for just two days)

 You'll get one hundred dollars duty-free

 Though it's not at par it'll still go far

 And it ends up in the pockets of a country man

 (it ends up in the pockets of a country man)

 

 Oh, canada.
