sunken ships rest
upon the ocean floor
where i've made my home
to dodge the draft once again
there once was a time when one could flee to the north
but canada's not what she used to be
boycott the world when she could not afford to
thanks to the new american queen
swim with me
and we'll escape all the troubles of the present age
finally free
the mermaids teach us
how to breathe beneath
the line that now divides
actions and apathy
swim with me
and we'll escape all the troubles of the present age
finally free
