Canadian Dream

[Danielj]

I realize this may not be for everyone . . . thus the title. But my guess is it transfers from society to society. By the way, people say that the Canadian Dream is "socialism". I built this song on that.

I once asked a wise man "What will bring us together?"

He answered without much hesitation "Since when have we been falling apart?"

I asked another man on the corner . . . no one semed to see him but me.

He said "It's only in the winter that I seem to be fed"

"It's only the children that ever want to feed me"

"It's only the music, that keeps my hopes alive"

He said "Boy when you grow up big and strong, I hope the music helps you too"

The Canadian Dream, is drivin' away

It ain't me at the wheel

The Canadian Dream, is driftin away

No one noticed but you and me

Soldiers, Seperatists. Killers and the priests

Psychotics, satanists. We stand on guard for thee.

Sons, daughters. Mothers an fathers

Get in line yes get in line, we're gonna win the race.

The Canadian Dream, is drivin' away

We chose our drivers (it's our fault)

The Canadian Dream is driftin away.

We've got to find a way to bring it back.

The man on the corner, well.

he's pickin himself up.

While the wise man is in the corner too

He aint helpin anyone but himself

The youth will come together, I know you can count on us.

The youth, we'll come together

And save ourselves from the early death forseen
