This is dedicated to the GB in Brooklyn, Paul Martin and his cronies and particularly Frank McKenna, the next PM of our great nation (at least it used to be!).
Feel free to add your song and dedicate it. I will ask two things. Please. Avoid personal slams, and let's leave my American cuzins ALONE. (that includes intra-US slamming, lol!)
So, here's to you, my 'liars of the day' ...
L I A R
Rollins Band
You think you’re going to live your life alone

In darkness and seclusion... yeah, I know

You’ve been out there and tried to mix with those animals

And it just left you full of humiliated confusion

So you stagger back home and wait for nothing

But the solitary refinement of your room spits you back onto the streets

And now you’re desperate and in need of human contact

And then you meet me and yur whole world changes

Because everything I say is everything you’ve ever wanted to hear

So you drop all your defenses, I’m perfect in every way

’cause I make you feel so strong and so powerful inside

You feel so lucky

But your ego obscures reality that you never bothered to

Wonder why things are going so well

You want to know why?

’cause I’m a liar, yeah, I’m a liar

I’ll tear (rip) your mind up, I’ll burn your soul

I’ll turn you into me, I’ll turn you into me

’cause I’m a liar, a liar, a liar, a liar...

I’ll hide behind a smile and understanding eyes

And I’ll tell you things that you already know so you can say:

I really identify with you, so much

And all the time that you’re needing me is just the time

That I’m bleeding you, don’t you get it yet?

I’ll come to you like an affliction then I’ll leave you like an addiction

You’ll never forget me... wou wanna know why?

I don’t know why I feel the need to lie and cause you so much pain

Maybe it’s something inside, maybe it’s something I can’t explain

’cause all I do is mess you up and lie to you

I’m a liar, ooh, I’m a liar

But if you’ll give me another chance I swear I’ll never lie to you again

’cause now I see the destructive power of a lie,

They’re stronger than truth

I can’t believe I ever hurt you, I swear I will never lie to you again

Please, just give me more chance, I’ll never lie to you again, no,

I swear, I will never tell a lie, I will neer tell a lie, no, no

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! sucker! sucker! sucker!

I am a liar, yeah, I am a liar, yeah, I am a liar

I lie you, I feel good, I am a liar, yeah

I lie x4 ooh, I lie, yeah, I lie

I’m a liar, I lie, I like it, I feel good, I like it,
I am a liar, yeah, I am a liar, yeah, I am a liar

I lie you, I feel good, I am a liar, yeah

I lie x4 ooh, I lie, yeah, I lie

I’m a liar, I lie, I like it, I feel good, I like it,
~ Henry Rollins
Oh, and I forgot to say ... Bless Texas! *

Well, 25 views and no comments.
I guess no one is interested in Canadian politics. Geez, I really wanted to slam them.
Where is lawrence when I need him?

if I knew anything about canadian politics I'd be all over this one. But unfortunately that's not the case. I can think of about six other people/organizations that this song(and it's a great song) applies to, though. Have you seen the video for this song? Rollins dressed up as the devil, it's great.

edited to add: this is the first time I've thought of this song since leaving, and I can't believe how well it sums up the a-holes in Brooklyn. Especially these lines -

I’ll hide behind a smile and understanding eyes

i am disgusted with the "pave paradise, put up a parking lot" mentality of the f-ing canadian government toward our environment.
they subsidize mass animal genocide in the arctic every year so that european fashion designers can have funky material to work with, and they allow the continued destruction of old growth boreal forests for tissue products.
go to hell ottawa. it's obvious you don't give a shit!

Cog,
Yah, that is a great song, huh? I love Rollins, and no, haven't seen the vid. :( I have the rollins collection (hehe), and thought of this song after I joined here, and how appropriate it is ...
Paul Martin, our current PM, is nothing but a wanna-be who can't fill the shoes daddy has set him up to keep failing to fill. Before he won the election, his company Canadian Shipping Lines (CSL) swindled the Canadian taxpayers out of over $200 million. CSL hid behind the fact that it was registered in (and recently transferred to) his immediate family person's name (wife or son, I can't remember which). One of his best buddies and former ambassador in Northern Europe, has proven mafioso connections, and quit-and-covered-up before he could be indicted for fraud. Then, there is 'AdScam', where the feds have given out untold millions to their Quebecois friends in phoney advertising contracts.
That is some of the dirt,,,, it just goes on and on.
And Frank McKenna *puke* held meetings with the old boys' network in the early summer, here in Nova Scotia, at a resort for the super-rich, that is little known to the public. It's heavily guarded, and the whole town works there, all sworn to secrecy about guests who attend there, of course. Clinton, and Greenspan, flew up for the week ... oh, yes, he is playing with the 'big boys'.
t_s,
Yes, and the seal hunt issue is more of a publicity money grab by certain elements, and is the tip of the iceberg down east.
The Christmas Forest in New Brunswick is our boreal forest, and is being fiercely protected by environmentalists who barricade loggers and have volunteers from all over travelling there to keep things going. Clear-cutting is rampant on virtually all Crown Lands here in Nova Scotia
Have you read Sea of Slaughter by Farley Mowat? Do so, then see the documentary film, if you already haven't ... i call it the Rape of the North East Atlantic.
Those are only two issues that have been ongoing for years, no, decades!
And what are the politicians doing? Oh yes, giving corporations $$ billions to build pipelines across MY PROVINCE, destroying countless ecosystems, with the profits going into the pockets of big business, among other wise spending of the taxpayers' monies.

Come on folks, I am surprised. There's a lot of anger here,,, what songs help you express it?
Yes, I confess, I would love to get a Canadian raging politics thread going, but it's not likely, so how about expressing UR ANGER?
Go for it, peeps!
It's therapeutic!

Although I know zero about Canadian politics I do however love Rollins Band. The End of Silence is my favorite album.

Remember Cretien's red book? So many promises, so little time. http://www.thiscanada.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=144&Itemid=2
No anger here, I reserve that for raving-evangelical-apologist-pretenders. SEND STOMPIN' TOM CONNORS RINGTONES TO YOUR CELLPHONE
Hello out there, we're on the air, it's 'Hockey Night' tonight.
Tension grows, the wistle blows, and the puck goes down the ice.
The goalie jumps, and the players bump, and the fans all go insane.
Someone roars, "Bobby Scores!", at the good ol' Hockey Game.

:: CHORUS ::
OH! The good ol' Hockey game, is the best game you can name.
And the best game you can name, is the good ol' Hockey game.

Second Period.

Where players dash, with skates aflash, the home team trails behind.
But they grab the puck, and go bursting up, and they're down across the line.
They storm the crease, like bumble bees, they travel like a burning flame.
We see them slide, the puck inside, it's a 1-1 hockey game.

(Chorus)

Third Period. Last game of the playoff too!

Oh take me where, the hockey players, face off down the rink.
And the Stanley Cup, is all filled up, for the champs who win the drink.
Now the final flick, of a hockey stick, and the one gigantic scream.
"The puck is in! The home team wins!", the good ol' hockey game.

(Chorus x3)

(It's in!)(He shoots, he scores!)(Henderson scores for Canada!)

Darth,
He is quite the philosopher. Oy, it is late and I am tired.
Jgnat,
Yes, thank you, how do you do that, you are so wise?
love you, and goddess, I so appreciate your wisdom.
