The impoverished wasteland
That keeps you from changing the world
Will never be your home
Not if I'm here
You don't know how much people will try
To drive you away
To keep you ''where you belong''
A waiting place
The place I so desperately fear
Not for me; I'm not one of ''them''
But you are; according to the authorities
I can hide: we don't have race wars here
But how can you avoid it if the government perpetuates it?
I nearly shed a lone tear
The Canadian Ghetto
It's where you're destined to stay
If they, we, I let you fall
If the people convince you you're inferior
But you have nothing to fear.
I'll won't stop making you
Braver
Smarter
Stronger
Aware
And when all is said and done
And they've taken your ability to give a ****
You still won't surrender
And I'll shed a joyous tear.
