Far Too Canadian Songtext

von Spirit of the West

I'm so content to stand in line,
Wait and see, pass the time,
Talk a streak, fall asleep,
Wake up late, whine and weep,
I kiss the hand that slaps me senseless,
I'm so accepting, I am so defenseless,

I am far too Canadian,
I am far too Canadian,

I pick the bones of what's been done,
And I'll lick them clean with a cautious tongue,
In dim lit rooms, I'll spill my guts,
I'm the revolution when the doors are shut,
I bite the hand that slaps me senseless,
But my patience it is. too relentless,

I am far too Canadian,
I am far too Canadian,

I am the face of my country,
Expressionless and small,
Weak at the knees, shaken badly,
Can't straighten up at all,
I watch the spine of my country,
Bend and break,
I'm in a sorry state,

I scratch the walls to mark the days,
With my coup-de-tete, I am locked away,
With mother Jones, pots of tea,
The kitchen poster, anarchy,
I never march in demonstration,
I hold my breath for arbitration,
I am far too Canadian,
I am far too Canadian,

I am the face of my country,
Expressionless and small,
Weak at the knees, shaken badly,
Can't straighten up at all,
I watch the spine of my country,
Bend and break,
I'm in a sorry state,
I am a sorry state,
Won't you welcome to the sorry state,

Weak at the knees, shaken badly,
Can't straighten up at all,
Can't straighten up at all,
Straighten up at all,
All.
