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
There’s not a snowball’s chance in hell we’ll be your 51st state
We should have told you this before
you don’t believe this but it is true
You really need the stuff we sell, 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’s crap idea were these fights
You’ll soon come to regret it, when we turn out all your lights
Oh Canada, we will survive
As long as we can get to work, we know we’ll stay alive
We have everything we need; we can live without your greed
We will survive; we will survive
And you see us, we really grew
We’re not some fledgling little colony in awe of you
We remain a country proud, that is happy to be free
You can’t figure out the power of our distinct identities!
So now just go, we will survive
As long as we can wear our gloves, we know we’ll stay alive
We have everything we need; we can live without your greed
We will survive; we will survive
So,
Go on, go, walk out the door
We’ve gone off you, we’re not so friendly anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried to give us a raw deal
But you’ll collapse without our oil, aluminum and steel
At first, we were afraid, we were petrified
Kept thinking we could never live without you by our side
Soon you’ll realize, you didn’t have a clue
That we can sell our resources, to anyone but you
Just so you know, you’re not so great
There’s not a snowball’s chance in hell, we’ll be your 51st state
We should have closed our border tight
Should’ve sent you on your way
If we had known for just one second, that you’d get so anti-gay!
So now just go, don’t bait our races
We do not like you, you fascist load of big disgraces
Weren’t you the one who tried to hurt us with your lies
Did 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 thanks to you we’ve nothing left to fear
You hit us hard, you knocked us down
but underestimated, the Canada you found
Now we’re fucking pissed, and united to the core
We are true Canadians, and we’ll be forever more
So just get lost, and don’t look back
We don’t need you; you behave like you’re on crack
Weren’t you the one who tried to hurt us, till we cry
Did you think we’d crumble, and just lay down and die
When you wake up, you’ll realize
Without the stuff that we produce you just couldn’t survive,
Once you see your trade war’s done far too much self harm
And you apologize we’ll have you back, our friends with open arms
‘Til that day, we 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
Oh Canada, we will survive
As long as we can shovel snow, we know we’ll stay alive
We have everything we need; we can live without your greed
We will survive; we will survive
We will survive!
