lyrics
I had me a job, got me working all the time
I had me a house, so beautiful and clean
And in my house I had everything I needed
Provided by the job I had uptown
It was heaven, you know, the great Canadian dream
My family and I had it made in the shade
But then one day thongs began to change
The borders were open and jobs, well, they ran amuck
And since then, let me tell you, everything is gone
Now at first it didn't seem to affect me at all
But more and more there was less and less to do
Pressure in house had my love grow weak
I felt lost and so uncertain of my life
It was hell, the end of the great Canadian dream
My family and I were being traded for something free
And then one day I was told I had no job
And now I'm blamed for doing what I was told to do
So now you see how it happened that everything is gone
Well I say why don't more raise up in anger
There is no one who wants to live this way
To lose your job because they're going under
And they're going under because they can't survive
The competition is tremendously unequal
Governments don't care if you live of if you die
We line their pockets with the money we work hard for
And when we're done they throw us all away
If you open your eyes you'll see that everything is gone
