Protest song with a video

lyrics

BOREALIS
words and music ©2011 Desmond Grundy

I know you want it
but you don’t understand it
I know you need it
like your whole life depended on it

Hockey’s in the news again
Talk about the weather
Parliament raised the tax on me
Playoff time in the rain

I know you want it
Labrador to Vancouver Island
I know you want it
Nunavut to Niagara Falls

Borealis fading in and out
Skating ‘cross the sky
Lakes so wide we call them great
Thirty-one words for snow

Wait and see
Wait and see
Wait and see
Stand on guard

On the late night talk shows
French radio and The Nature of Things
On the road to Moose Jaw,
Wawa, Ottawa, Mississauga

Borealis fading in and out
Racing ‘cross the sky
Lakes so wide we call them great
Cirque do Soleil in the rain

Wait and see
Wait and see
Wait and see
Stand on guard
