Oh Canada

Oh Canada, I stand on guard for a lot But just last week, a white girl was shot Outside a shopping mall, yeah, it's written in the press That your sweet little town has lost its innocence It's not the year of the gun, we don't say it out loud There are no headlines when a black girl dies It's not the lack of a sense, it's called ambivalence All in their lanes, under rush hour lights There's one head to a car, but you act so surprised When the snow don't come, you can't swim in the lakes Now it's hotter than hell in a bed you won't make It's not the lack of a sense, it's called ambivalence Up on the hill is the best real estate Baby, just to get in, you've got to sell off your faith ‘Cause in the valley below, there is crack and young girls You don't have to believe what stays out of your world It's not the year of the gun, we don't say it out loud There are no headlines when a black girl dies It's not the lack of a sense, it's called ambivalence
