Never Going Back To The Streets

The C5  Penny Lane Story

When the virus in its grip held us tightly 
The truckers were on board their rigs riding 
They were hailed as heroes and rightly 
While the rest of us were in our homes hiding 

But even as the virus has subsided 
They’re must choose between losing their jobs or accepting the Syringe 
And these heroes once applauded are now derided 
As terrorists on some ultra right wing fringe 

And so Benjamin Dichter and Tamera Lich 
have organized this miles long convoy 

And this is precisely the pivotal time 
when every world dictator panics 

These are the times when the elitist professor 
Is confronted by the once nameless lawn boy 

And interstate commerce is shut down by truckers 
and the plumbers and the auto mechanics 

I stand with Canadian Truckers 
Out in the wind driven snow 
These are some tough mother fuckers 
Resisting the tyrant Trudeau 

The protesters are trampled by horses 
By cops high above on their mounts 
They’re the useful tools of government forces 
Who arrest them and seize their banking accounts 

I’ve often heard it asked, so just how is it 
That Hitler so evil was elected the country to lead 
Well, the Journalists and bankers were complicit 
And the cops were just following orders, they’ve got kids to feed 

Now Tamera Lich and some other convoy leaders 
Have been rounded up summarily and jailed 

But the protesters are holding fast in Ottawa, 
outgunned and outmanned 

The media, our experts, our elected politicians 
our trusted institutions have all failed 

The time is coming, for us to choose 
a side on which to stand

And I stand with Canadian Truckers 
Out in the wind driven snow 
These are some tough mother fuckers 
Resisting the tyrant Trudeau
