The legend lives on from Toronto on down
Of a six inch deep pond they call Fake Lake.
The lake, it is said, made the blue Cons turn red
When they realized they'd made such mistake.

With Muskoka chairs and canoes in the air
The fake lake was meant to thrill writers.
A pleasant surprise, there ain't no blackflies,
No mosquitoes or other skin biters.

Fake Lake was the pride of the Conservative side,
With fake loon songs and JumboTron pictures
Of real lakes and woods and handcrafted goods
And all the outdoors you could wish for.

Surrounded by concrete and security teams,
They relax by pool that's reflecting.
While they sip on free beer they need never fear
Uncouth Torontonians protesting.

They'll file their stories of promises made
That the G20 leaders had spoken.
But every man knew, as the leaders did, too,
Promises are made to be broken.

The dawn came early for the hungover scribes
And the G20 pow-wow had ended.
Outdoors they must go to the real world and so,
Reality's no longer suspended

Does anyone know where Steve Harper will go
The next time they hold a G20.
He'll be headed headed for Seoul, just another black hole
For wasting the taxpayers' money.

  • What an ugly lake, and what a waste of tax payers money...all they had to do is walk down to Lake Ontario and see water, or go to Deerhurst and enjoy the lake there...such a travesty!!!!

  • @theestever I understood it quite well..what I'm saying is instead of making the age old silly gesture do something concrete...but not violent. That's the problem with the world today... absolutely no balls or imagination..just make silly songs and get slaughtered like pigs.

  • @MrAssbaron Hmm, the song got the message across fine for me, did you struggle to understand it?

  • Hehe - great little song. The cost of the G8/20 is always a scandal, but this time it's an outrage. I hope to hell that Torontonians are banging at the doors of their government, demanding an explanation and a tax rebate!

  • lmao isn't toronto on lake ontario? fuckin harper

  • Harper's heading for Seoul and he's a big @sshole.

  • seriously

  • If you don't like it make a tax revolt instead of stupid little songs. That will send the message across

  • Awesome! Great minds think alike :)
