Can't Go Over the Mountain Aug 2nd,2012

By

James Bredin

We need to put a pipe across a mountain but they say "No! "
You can't do it unless you pay us lots and lots of dough,
Because out here, we are far more important than you and you!
This may be a form of extortion but there's nothing you can do.




Some pipsqueak politician wants to stop our oil pipeline,
Could these pipsqueak types put the whole country into decline?
Do we have someone who could tell them, go jump in the lake?
Are our national politicians in Ottawa, asleep or awake?




Or are they looking up Trudeau's Charter to see if it's written there?
Or maybe a minister, a priest or a bishop to help with some prayer?
All we need is one politician with guts to tell them where to go,
Are you there Stephen or is this, all some sort of game show?
