Ever since I was born in a northern town
|
I've been digging myself out
|
From a time when I hadn't seen
|
Anything worth remembering
|
|
I would aspire to better life
|
To feast my eyes and expand my mind
|
I'd lie awake, I could not wait
|
To leave this place behind
|
|
Your Ontario town is just a burial ground
|
For old friends
|
Your Ontario town is just a burial ground
|
|
Inspired by hopelessness
|
From where my discontent once began
|
I miss the nature and the wilderness
|
But not the people there
|
|
As old stores will close their doors
|
Other ones may change their names
|
But old friends still live their lives
|
Where I would have died of shame
|
Your Ontario town is just a burial ground
|
For old friends
|
Your Ontario town is just a burial ground
|
|
You say that you grew up
|
You say that you tried
|
I think you took the easy way out
|
I say you gave up
|
I say you died
|
|
You'll say that you're content
|
You'll say there's no regrets
|
But I think you took the easy way out
|
For if you're not dreaming anymore
|
You're already dead
|
|
What a shame for those who chose
|
To be wasted in the north
|
What a shame to know nothing more
|
Than the town where you were born
|
Your Ontario town is just a burial ground
|
For old friends
|
Your Ontario town is just a burial ground
|
|
Kick over the stone that bares your name
|
I spit on the snow that covers your grave
|
