Fuck Don Cherry! There, I said it.
How long are we gonna let it be okay to turn hockey skates into
recruitment gates for the ar__my?
"Beautiful boys" on the screen,
white faces shaved so smooth and clean - noble hearts in the noble arts of
war and occupa__tion.
There's nothing about pucks in nets, skates on ice, sticks on skin that
says "it's okay if some brown person loses a limb."
There's nothing about Ron MacLean, the CBC, hits from behind that
say "it's alright to bomb a few foreigners from the sky."
(solo)
Fuck the anthems that celebrate the
ass we kick on a foreign stage - the only "Leaf" I see is losing 6-3 and that's
fine with me, oh I know...
it seems a harmless thing as we stand and sing, but in
Afghanada it's another thing. There's no peace to keep when you ride up in a jeep and you
blow the bleep out of some children.
There's nothing about pucks in nets, skates on ice, sticks on skin that
says "it's okay if some brown person loses a limb."
There's nothing about Ron MacLean, the CBC, hits from behind that
say "it's alright to bomb a few foreigners from the sky."
