Years ago
Four hundred years ago
The French, on their boats, came to town
They built fur trading posts (1611)
So really, they were just a bunch of clowns
Three hundred years ago
The English, on their ships, came to town
They said: “This land is ours”
So really, there was just more clowns
Two hundred years ago
They all lived under the crown
They built the Pont Victoria
In the end, it brought a shit load of clowns
They had horses
We have Smarts
They were farmers
We have Schwartz
They built train tracks
And crossroads
We build fake parks
And condos
They had Laurier
We have Harper
They had tramways
We drive faster
They built churches
They built high schools
We build nothing
Cause we’re fools
One hundred years ago
The banks sprouted all around the town
They played a vital role
In the lives of a truckload of clowns
They had horses
We have Smarts
They were farmers
We have Schwartz
They built churches
They built high schools
We build nothing
Cause we’re fools
solo
Today we left Kyoto
Soon Montreal is gonna drown
There’s nothing can we do
But to start a travelling circus full of clowns

Massive breaks

If you ain't down
just walk away
we've got the big noise
and the massive breaks
We are Carpet
in the place to be
get on the floor man
and you'll see
that no groove
is where it's at
no sweat son
don't be down like that
we got big muffs
with much delay
we got big noise
and massive breaks
if you don't dig
then walk away
if you ain't down
we still love you anyway
If you ain't down
just walk away
we've got the big noise
and the massive breaks

supercop
The ideal situation
For his generation
Would be to penetrate and participate
Profession renovation
Probation masturbation
He needs to infiltrate
And communicate
SUPER COP
SUPER COP
Compassion and discretion
Never in slow motion
Always keeping faith
For a non violent state
Not much for oppression
Anti-resurrection
He needs to demonstrate
How to operate
SUPER COP
SUPER COP
SUPER COP

February 29th
Two weeks have passed since valentine’s day
This boring winter’s been too long
Spring’s about to clear away
All the shit so kids can hit the bong
Two months have passed since the holidays
this boring winter’s been too long
Ou-o-o
It’s February twenty-ninth!
Ou-o-o
It’s February twenty-ninth!
Ou-o-o
It’s February twenty-ninth!
"-So how many leap years have you been through?
-seven, you?
-Hum, ten"

Tax return
I didn’t do my taxes
I didn’t do my tax return last year
now I’m getting two years worth
Let’s get it on and have a few beers
Sixteen hundred dollars
Are you with me my brothers!!
Sixteen hundred dollars
A new bike and a soundcard

Taking it to the streets
one voice
one song
they march along
Taking it to the streets
two hundred thousand strong
Togather, they gather
Taking it to the streets
one voice
one song
they march along
Taking it to the streets
two hundred thousand strong
