This left a bad taste in my mouth Ham and eggs I can do without I really don’t know what it’s worth We’ll see you next sunday at church But not if I can help it Pancakes, sausage stirring the pot Spill the coffee while it’s still hot Balled cantaloupe, I just need the fork Everyone’s waiting, I’m not coming down When it’s all over I’ll have leftovers Please leave some gravy for the hashbrowns This left a bad taste in my mouth Smoked meat I can do without We all know what’s left in store One week we’ll see you at the morgue But not if you can help it Pancakes, sausage stirring the pot Spill the coffee while it’s still hot Balled cantaloupe, done with a spoon Everyone’s leaving, we’ll see you soon Pancakes, sausage stirring the pot Spill the coffee while it’s still hot Balled cantaloupe, I just need the fork Everyone’s waiting, I’m not coming down

I think it looks better when it stays in your pants... Imagination, leave us something for it Imagination, leave us something for it I think it looks better, I think it looks better I think it works better when you pay in advance... You’ll be a trendsetter if you just take a chance... But I still think it looks better when it stays in your pants... Imagination... leave us something for it Imagination... leave us something for it I think you know better, I think it looks better

Moi j’ai perdu ma culture au point où La seule toune en français est là parce que je me sentais coupable Assimilé! Assimilated... Je me dis que je me reprendrai au prochain album Prochain album, 90% en anglais mais je me reprendrai au prochain... Assimilé! Assimilated... Insert spanish verse here. Holà! Mon père m’a toujours dit que c’est parce que je me tenais trop à Ottawa. Mais c’est pas moé qui écoutait Friends ou Don Cherry à soir Assimilé! Assimilated... Assimilé! Assimilated...

In the city, with blinding lights And empty streets, I waste my life I am nauseous and I resign Close my door and search online Expectations abound, but we still can turn this around In the country, with blinding sun And empty fields, I look for fun I am hungry but it all tastes like brine Close my door and search online Expectations expire Expectations abound, but we still can turn this around Expectations expiring, but that doesn’t mean that we won’t stop trying Trying, trying, trying I’m trying!

Listen 02:50
You’ve made it this far, and you’ve realized That we don’t have much to say Expand your views Solidarity has no borders... No one wants to hear about The problems of a white-cis-gendered-man Middle aged and middle class Muddled brains and muddy personality Steady job with benefits Solid bill of health despite the love handles Got the girl, ok at sports But point the spotlight somewhere else Others have things to say and their lives depend on it Give them the platform, let’s have a listen This verse is where I would talk about The problems of a non-white-cis-gendered-man But I know fuck all about that So point the spotlight somewhere else Others have things to say and their lives depend on it Give them the platform, let’s have a listen
