Capo 4 (chords are relative to capo)
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
G F G C G (hold)
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.
