The Canadian Crisis Song — текст песни (Arrogant Worms, The)

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.
