lyrics

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
