Testo The canadian crisis song The Arrogant Worms

The canadian crisis song

Often on the weekend Ill jump in my car
I wont fill up the tank although Im going far
And if somebody asks me if Im going to a bar
Ill say Im shopping cross the border in the usa
I dont go down there to buy my groceries
I respect our farmers and our factories
I dont believe that local means its poor in quality
Its just our goddamn prices are too high

(if he stays away for just two days)
Ill get one hundred dollars duty-free
If it adds to more I wont claim it for
(he wont declare the products if theyre in his trunk)

Although it is canada that I call home
I dont cheer for the yankees when Im in the dome
I didnt swell with pride during the desert storm
Its just that I dont want to pay the tax
(its just that hes too cheap to pay the tax)

(yes, its just like this, hes a loyalist)
Ill only shop at malls that fly our flag
(and hell tell bob rae that he just wont 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
Theyre doing what they can to beat the gst
Theyre lining up for miles at the duty-free
So I bought a jc pennys store in buffalo
(so everybody come on down to buffalo)

(cause if you stay away for just two days)
Youll get one hundred dollars duty-free
Though its not at par itll 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.
