Melting Pot
I'm moving out of the Paris of the Prairies
I never dug the Hip, wasn't trying to be contrary
To the millions of Canucks who tell me they are the best
Nonetheless, I'm packing up and heading West
I've had enough of these canola fields and I
Stuffed all my junk into a Mercury to drive
Across the border to a new hope and some wealth
I never thought it'd be hazardous to my health
"Fit in or fuck off" is what they said
I never understood that mindset
"Fit in or fuck off" no way to live
Mounting debt no one can forgive
And it'll never stop
Just close up shop
We're well beyond
Your melting pot
Now don't get me wrong, cohesion is a work of art
It's a notion I've believed in since the very start
But when the only guiding light is one of greed
And everyone around me is burying the lede
It's hard to see this place as somewhere to grow old
"It's never your fault" is the story that's been told
It's so predictable - a social palindrome
But I won't be heading home
"Fit in or fuck off" is what they said
I never understood that mindset
"Fit in or fuck off" no way to live
Mounting debt no one can forgive
And it'll never stop
Just close up shop
We're well beyond
Your melting pot
We're well beyond
Your melting pot
We're well beyond
Your melting pot
I never dug the Hip, wasn't trying to be contrary
To the millions of Canucks who tell me they are the best
Nonetheless, I'm packing up and heading West
I've had enough of these canola fields and I
Stuffed all my junk into a Mercury to drive
Across the border to a new hope and some wealth
I never thought it'd be hazardous to my health
"Fit in or fuck off" is what they said
I never understood that mindset
"Fit in or fuck off" no way to live
Mounting debt no one can forgive
And it'll never stop
Just close up shop
We're well beyond
Your melting pot
Now don't get me wrong, cohesion is a work of art
It's a notion I've believed in since the very start
But when the only guiding light is one of greed
And everyone around me is burying the lede
It's hard to see this place as somewhere to grow old
"It's never your fault" is the story that's been told
It's so predictable - a social palindrome
But I won't be heading home
"Fit in or fuck off" is what they said
I never understood that mindset
"Fit in or fuck off" no way to live
Mounting debt no one can forgive
And it'll never stop
Just close up shop
We're well beyond
Your melting pot
We're well beyond
Your melting pot
We're well beyond
Your melting pot
