lyrics

You try to mould me, try to shape my mind
Hold me, scold me, you're robbing me blind
You never hear me or the things I say
You know you're right, who am I anyway?
You try to teach me to fit your ideal
Reach me, preach me, when I know you're not real
You're never gonna break me coz I've seem what you've done
Never gonna break me coz I've seem how you've won
And you're never gonna know me coz I know your type too well

CHORUS
History - has got a tale to tell
History - you better learn it well
Freedom for the people who will follow the lines
Equality for those who've got money and time
And you know that money is the key in the land of opportunity

The U.S. brought us Viet Nam
Then there was Russia and Afghanistan
Reaganomics failed to perform
So the U.S, returned with Desert Storm
"No new taxes" cry the rich
And for the poor, well life's a bitch
You're never gonna get me with your well-practiced lies
Never gonna get me coz I still hear the cries
And you're never gonna know me coz I know your type too well

Whatever happened to Canada?
They sold us out without a whimper
It's just another Grenada
Without the Marines -- they don't like our winters
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
George has Brian on his knees
It's a Stephen King-style fantasy
The story of a nation in retreat

Gotta get up and lend a hand
What have you done recently?
It's your home and native land
Not so strong and not so free
