[FGFC820 - Call To Glory lyrics]
I am speaking to you in
A moment of grave crisis
What has taken place in Montreal in the
Past two weeks is not unprecedented
The Canadians have always assumed that
It could not happen here
As a result we are doubly shocked that it has
Our assumption may have been naive
But it was understandable
Understandable because Democracy flourshies
In Canada it has now been demonstrated to us
By a few misguided persons
Just how fragile a Democratic society can be
Democracy is not prepared to defend it'self
For that reason the government has decided
To proclaim the War Measures Act
The War Measures Act gives sweeping
Powers to the government
And also suspends the operation of
The Canadian Bill of Rights
This government is not acting out of fear
It is acting to prevent fear from spreading
The government is acting therefore to protect
Your life and your liberty
I won't rely on the service of strangers
Like other robots in this place
Who show their fear at the break of danger
In the way they hide their face
I won't explain my personal reasons
On bended knee to a suspect crown
I got my license, it's the hunting season
I'm gonna burn this fucker down
If you never hear the call to glory
And live your life through honor and deed
Then every time you look in the mirror
You'll see the face of the man
That you wish you could be
The greatest wisdom that I've ever known
Stupid people should not breed
Or at least keep to their own
Protect us from their pestilent seed
Unmoralistic debutantes
Spend their lives searching for something
With all their needs and all their wants
If you ain't got pride, you ain't got nothing
I sense the unease which grips many Canadians
Some of you are upset
And this is understandable
I want to reassure you that the authorities
Have the situation well in hand
Everything that needs to be
Done is being done
Every level of government in this country is
Well prepared to act in your interests
If you never hear the call to glory
And live your life through honor and deed
Then every time you look in the mirror
You'll see the face of the man
That you wish you could be
A moment of grave crisis
What has taken place in Montreal in the
Past two weeks is not unprecedented
The Canadians have always assumed that

As a result we are doubly shocked that it has
Our assumption may have been naive
