This is an old Stompin' Tom Connors song... and the way the lyrics make mention of tough times reminded me of how people are acting these days.
(The video is nothing special)
Goodbye Jim & Jackie, goodbye John & May We hate to see you leaving, bound for the USA But if you don't believe your country should come before yourself Ya can better serve your country, by living somewhere else
I know the times are changing, factories closing down But if you stay and help us, we can turn these things around But if you don't believe your country should come before yourself Ya can better serve your country, by living somewhere else
And while our politicians, divide our precious land We speak in French & English, but they still don't understand If you don't believe your country should come before yourself Ya can better serve your country, by living somewhere else
In a land that's short on heroes, they trade our jobs away And we don't need no zeros to come and help us save the day So if you don't believe your country should come before yourself Ya can better serve your country, by living somewhere else
And if you should find your heaven, where stars & stripes are flown You'll learn to stand more proudly, than you ever stood back home And they'll tell you that your country, must come before yourself Or you'll have to serve your country by living somewhere else
So goodbye Jim & Jackie, goodbye John & May We hope that you'll be happy, living in the USA Cause if you don't believe your country should come before yourself Ya can better serve your country, by living somewhere else
If you don't believe your country should come before yourself Ya can better serve your country, by living somewhere else
