Canada: I will survive
At first we were afraid,
We were petrified,
Kept thinking we could never live
Without you by our side.
And we spent so many nights
Thinking how you did us wrong.
Now we've banded all together.
Your tariffs made us strong!
And so, you know,
You're not so great.
That's not a snowballs' chance in hell
We'll be your 51st state.
We should have told you this before.
You don't believe this but it's true:
You really need our resources
Far more than we need you.
So now just go,
Walk out the door.
We do not need you,
You're not welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one
Who instigated these trade fights?
You'll soon grow to regret it
When we turn out your lights.
It's Canada, we will survive.
As long as we can think and work,
We know we'll stay alive.
We have all we really need.
We can live without your greed.
We will survive.
We will survive.
There's been a change.
It's time you knew.
We're not that fledgling little country
Still in awe of you.
We are now a nation proud
That is happy to be free.
You didn't realize
You gave us our own identity.
So, now just go.
We will survive.
As long as we can think and work,
We know we'll stay alive.
We have all we really need.
We can live without your greed.
We will survive.
We will survive.
So, just go,
Go find the door.
We don't like you.
We're not friendly anymore.
Weren't you the one
Who tried to give us a raw deal?
But you can't live without our oil,
Aluminium and steel.
At first, we were afraid,
And we were petrified.
Kept thinking we could never live
Without you by our side.
Soon you will realize
You didn't have a clue
When we sell all our resources
To anyone but you.
Just so you know:
You're not so great.
There's not a snowballs' chance in hell
We'll be your 51st state.
We should have closed our border tight,
Should have sent you on your way,
If we had known for just one second
What you planned to make us face.
And now just go,
Vacate our space.
We do not like you.
You're such a big disgrace.
Weren't you the one
Who tried to hurt us till we cry?
You think we'd crumble
And just lay down and die?
It took all the strength we had
Not to fall apart,
Just to try to mend the pieces
Of our broken hearts.
We spent so many nights
Crying softly in our beer.
Now we realize that we
Have nothing left to fear.
You hit us hard,
You knocked us down,
But underestimated
The Canada you found.
Now we're feeling pissed
And united to the core.
We are true Canadians
And will be forever more.
So, just get lost
And don't look back.
We don't need you.
We are giving you the sack.
Weren't you the one
Who tried to hurt us till we cry?
You think we'd crumble
And just lay down and die?
When you wake up,
You'll realize
That without all of our resources
You just couldn't survive.
Once you see your foolish trade war
Would have done far too much harm.
Then we, the North, will welcome you
Back with open arms.
Until that day
We'll lock our door.
You will regret it.
You can't win this tariff war.
The Canada we love so much
Will never die.
We are proud Canadians.
We hold our heads up high, Canada.
We will survive.
As long as we can think and work
We know we'll stay alive.
We have all we really need.
We can live without your greed.
We will survive.
We will survive.
We will survive.
