Harper, Turn Around

A song I wrote expressing my deep and abiding dislike for Harper. Please send to your friends to remind them to vote on May 2nd for anyone but Harper!

Lyrics:
Stephen Harper's been Prime Minister since 2006
And this appalling situation is what voters now must fix
...Cause it very clear now
The Prime Minister who's here now
Is a dic... tator
So do yourselves a favour

Vote him out of office, vote him out today
Get out to the polls and have your say
Cause if a lack of Tory turnout on election day is found
There's a chance we could turn Canada around

You hate coalitions, cause that's not democracy
But apparently prorogation was could explain that to me?
At least a coalition has majority support behind it
But when you won't let votes continue, then most people seem to mind it
Oh, Stephen, wait, I almost forgot to congratulate you
First Prime Minister in contempt, impressive, people really must hate you
And if you want to sway voters of every creed and race
Don't call Canadians "very ethnic", especially not to their face

You're a tyrant Stephen Harper don't pretend it isn't true
You struggle with your ethics cause they aren't spelled with a u
And if you want a majority on Canada's ground
Then you'd have to turn your party right around

Remember the G20? While we really loved the lake
There's still health care, education, and the environment at stake
You over spent our money and we were not on your side
And if you really could defend it, I don't think you have lied
But it worked, the world loves us! Oh wait, nope, that's not true
Cause we're off the Security Council and that's all thanks to you
If you want to take the credit, then you've got to take the blame
Because your years in office have been our years shame

You're selfish, sneaky, mean, and underhanded to boot
And you cannot make up for it by trying to be cute
Photo ops with children, I'm sorry, just aren't bound
To turn a voter's choice right around

Even your personality has left me unimpressed
From your creepy, tuneless singing to those stupid sweater vests
You're a robot, Stephen Harper, which explains a thing or two
Like when you renamed our nation's government after you
Sure, Harper's a nice name, except that it's yours
But I'm kind of attached to Canada; it's the nation, not you, we adore
Think those fossil awards are funny, well it's time that you've learned
The rest of us aren't laughing and we're really quite concerned

So get out and vote Ignatieff or Layton, have your way
If you think she's the best option, then you could vote for May
And if you're in Quebec
Go on, then, what the heck!
Vote Duceppe even
But please don't vote for Stephen

You're on your wait out Stephen, so long, goodbye, you're done
Yes, it' been exciting, but I can't say it's been fun
So if you're ever headed towards my town
Stephen Harper, turn your campaign bus around
Stephen Harper, turn your campaign bus around
Stephen Harper, turn your campaign bus around
