Can you hear the sirens
Across the border?
What are they drowning out
On the CBC
In Ontario?

Is your screen blank tonight
Across the border?
What are they blocking out
On the CBC
In Saskatchewan?

I hear you went to jail
After you left Detroit
For getting a haircut
Without putting your cash
In the Socialist purse

I hear you went to jail
After you left Detroit
For getting a tune-up
Without dying in line
For a government nurse

Did you hear the sirens
From Niagara to Niagara
Coming to lock you up
For possessing the wrong source for news
And not being buffaloed
By the CBC
In Ontario?
