lyrics

Here’s an open invitation
A strong-armed welcome to his unprogressive world
Four more years of humiliation
Forgiven with a buck-a-beer and a place to grow

Who would give him the praise?
He’s open for business
A deep and dark faze
It’s where we’re headed

Whilst making cuts to education
Double the classroom size to save a bit of dough
With no platform or foundation
Yours to discover, well who would fucking know?

Who would give him the praise?
He’s open for business
A deep and dark faze
It’s where we’re headed

These companies are vicious
Strip you down for what you need
Knocking elbows in public with fascists
It’s not my province, it’s not for me

Doesn’t take much to be a good man
A bit of empathy good honest people know
While making damage to our progress
By defunding the police, let the teachers grow

Who would give him the praise?
He’s open for business
A deep and dark faze
It’s where we’re headed

Wake up, these times are vicious
Who would care, he’s open for business
Not for the people
And who would care about affordable housing
The rich get richer while we’re left here fucking wondering

Get back to the fucking basics
Get back to what we should know
Give back to working people
Give back to those without homes
And I’m not sacrilegious
And I’ll never follow
But I’ll stand with all my neighbours
And I’ll fight for my Ontario
