lyrics

America’s gonna ask me to go to war with them
Theyre gonna drop the bombs again
How am I gonna kill Koreans if I don’t even eat meat
How are they gonna ask when im not a part of them
Why would I go to war
I couldn’t qualify if I wanted a chance
Im a red skinned communist and I hate America
I wont go if you ask me to
I wouldn’t give you a fighting chance
I wouldn’t even try to help you
But I will only go on a few conditions
I will go if you stop lying about what youre doing
Mr Trudeau, how are you helping all the missing and murdered native women
Why wont you stop lying
I would’ve voted for you if I had a chance
I really wanted to like you
I want to start a riot on parliament
I want answers from you mr prime minister
Im glad youre legalizing marijuana
Youll make things much easier for me
But my heart still aches when I hear that so many natives still aren’t living properly
You make me want to revolt
I cant go anywhere to protest
Im stuck with student debt
I couldn’t even drive if I wanted to I don’t have a license
This is me speaking out
Justin, I want you to listen to me
I want you to listen to the people talking to you
I want you to listen to what you used to say
Its been over two years
Stop lying about progress
Stop lying to your citizens
I don’t want to hear more of your bullshit
I want you to do what you said
Please listen
Im tired of begging
Just try to listen to us
I don’t want to go to war with korea
I don’t really want to go to war with you either
I just want you to take control
Mr prime minister, neither of us want to go to war
Theres no point in fighting
Theres no guns and theres no violence
But please do something now
Im starting to lose trust
My confidence is wavering
Mr Trudeau I can vote now
I want you to prove to me that I wasn’t wrong two years ago
I want to stop the war and I don’t want to be drafted
Donald trump wont do anything for anyone
This is no surprise
He longs to go to war
I know you don’t
So I hope we can wave the white flag and sign an agreement here
