What do Canadian DUers think of this Spirit of the West ditty?

[HEyHEY]

i'm so content, to stand in line
wait and see, pass the time
talk a streak, fall alseep, wake up late, whine and weep
i kiss the hand that slaps me senseless
i'm so accepting, so defenseless
i am far too Canadian
far too Canadian
i pick the bones, of what's been done
lick them clean, with a cautious tongue
in dim lit rooms, i spill my guts
i'm the revolution when the doors are shut
i'd bite the hand that slaps me senseless
but my patience is too relentless
i am far too Canadian
i am far too Canadian
i am the face of my country
experssionless and small
weak at the knees, shaking badly
can't straighten up at all
i watch the spine of my country bend and break
i'm a sorry state
i scratch the walls, to mark the days
with my coup d e (tête), i'm locked away
with Mother Jones, pots of tea
the kitchen poster, anarchy
i never march in demonstrations
i hold my breath for arbitration
i am far too Canadian
i am the face of my country
experssionless and small
weak at the knees, shaking badly
can't straighten up at all
i watch the spine of my country bend and break
i'm a sorry state

1. Who the hell wrote that?

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I don't care for it.....Canadians are good people, who are hardly knee shaking cowards.......

[HEyHEY]

2. Spirit of the west

I think it's more about Canadian Apathy

3. No offence but I think it's BULLSHIT!

Tell this ditty to the Canadians who have died in World Wars, in great numbers, compared to the size of Canada's population....

[HEyHEY]

6. It's an odd song to have been written by a pretty god band

[reprehensor]

4. I like Spirit of the West.

I think the overall tone is rather pessimistic, but if you are from British Columbia, like SOTW, then having virtually no effective voice in Federal Canadian governance can wear you down.

So he is frustrated. And shit.

5. Californians have been known to feel like that too...the election is over

sometimes, by the time the west is counted....This election should be different in Canada....B.C. may cast the deciding votes!

[HEyHEY]

7. I be from BC

I think he's talking about apathy so many people just don't care about things

8. It sounds like it was written by Stockwell Day, another BC resident.
