The Lyrics

Another Tragically Hip parody about Canadian politics. This is also the first ever parody of My Music at Work on this site.
Things look very bleak
It is not a pretty sight
Thanks to Trudeau
And the Liberals and their lies
We know they're all jerks

Carbon tax won't work
Carbon tax won't work

It raises all prices
Many can't afford to pay
And no affordable alternative
Exists today
It costs so much it hurts

Carbon tax won't work

Emissions still go up
Despite the carbon tax being raised
I cannot cut Disney Plus
Since I could not afford it anyway
Doesn't that sound absurd

Carbon tax won't work
Carbon tax won't work
Carbon tax won't work

Can they all go away
To end all of this pain
And stop the economy
From going down the drain
Pierre's who I prefer

Carbon tax won't work
Carbon tax won't work

Taxes won't stop forest fires
And can't control when it's gonna rain
Despite what's said by the liars
What those Liberals say drives me insane
Can't believe what I heard

Carbon tax won't work
Carbon tax won't work
Carbon tax won't work

No no no no no no
No no no no no no no no
No no no no no no
No no no no no no no no

Things look very bleak
It is not a pretty sight
Thanks to Trudeau
And the Liberals and their lies
We know they're all jerks

Carbon tax won't work
Carbon tax won't work

The Liberals are turds
Carbon tax won't work
Their policies are absurd
Carbon tax won't work
Conservatives will avert
Carbon tax won't work
Carbon tax won't work
Carbon tax won't work

Excellent! I know nothing about OS or Canadian politics. A clearly stated message. Good poetic form. I like it. Thank you. 555
