Walkerton ©2000 James Gordon
So you made your rich friends richer,
Well good for you;
I'm sure they hold you in the highest esteem.
'Cause you lowered their taxes,
Got the government of their backs,
Let a few Canadians live the American Dream.
But those families up in Walkerton- gathered around those graves,
They're not thinking tonight about the money you have saved.
They are looking for the common sense in it: why don't you ask them how
They feel about about your little revolution now.
They don't want your dirty money-
They know where it comes from-
Your cutbacks have cut the heart out of this land.
Those corporate profits all were squeezed
From those who were already on their knees-
But you are still in the red, 'cause there's blood on your hands.
But those families up in Walkerton- gathered around those graves,
They're not thinking tonight about the money you have saved.
They're looking for the common sense in it: why don't you ask them how
They feel about about your little revolution now.
So keep your little tax break,
Things are broken enough-
Sooner or later Mister don't you think
That if you compromise our health
In your drive for wealth-
You're gonna foul the water that you yourself must drink..
But those families up in Walkerton- gathered around those graves,
They're not thinking tonight about the money you have saved.
They're looking for the common sense in it: why don't you ask them how
They feel about about your little revolution now.
