lyrics

Boom and bust
Another fool’s gold rush
And they’re gonna do it all again in north Ontario
Where the Indians roam
But don’t call them that today
I guess the name change is gonna make it OK
As they line up the next dead souls to come and go

Unnatural predators
Wild and wooded and unwilling pastures
Hard pressed for a fight to the death that could end any faster
Put your money down
Put it where I'll find your mouth
Cram it till you choke but don’t you dare spit it out
All the while I’ll be there asking
Hey, how do you like it now

The bloodletting has got to take its form
If I gotta suffer alone, what am I suffering for
The natural world, the walmart superstore
The plastic trash, the iron and the ore
We’ll give our children sacred objects for
To cut them on their palms when they reach out for more

Just as my father cut off his arm
And handed it down gratefully
He said “here son, now this is yours
It’s no longer good to me”
We in turn will give our children ordinary names and
Dream stationary dreams and lose at all the same games
