Ian Kelly - Parliament

I’m stretching my legs, I’m bending my knees
I don’t exercise much but now I’m at ease on cement
Down at the old Parliament
I’m walking on eggs, I’ve got a beard made of bees
What appeared like a forest was many small trees, we’re the list
Hold your chin up high and raise your fist
This is all of my rage in a single phrase
We came here on a bus, don’t forget you work for us
Even though we’re displeased I guess you had our votes
But our rights were seized, made some sheeps out of goats, and you said
I will decide who will be well fed
This is all of my rage in a single song
If it were just my call, then you wouldn’t be there for long
Now, dying for a hospital bed
Depression contagiously spreads
Everyday’s a reapeat of the same tragedy
Now, nothing is done but all has been said
Noone’s hitting the nail on the head
In a room infected by their apathy
Canadian oil, we extract from the soil
Nuclear soldiers, fire and fires , we’ve
stolen all the fish from the dirty sea
At the old Parliament, things are moving way too slow
We are paying the rent, I think we should run the show
Now, there are missiles pointing at me
There are kids caught in the debris
And my shirt was extorted from their family
Now I can’t live with my head in the sand
I can’t be under foolish command
We need to turn this into a democracy
