Call to Glory

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 itself
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
