Lyrics
Call it the ex-cop diaries
Of the travelling hierarchies
Needle-nose executive-suite
It's conjecture milord
But I believe he does cocaine
This man put men in cuffs
For 36 years before
Becoming security manager
For Trans Mountain
He dons a Harper haircut
And stands with entitlement abreast of
Red-coated fur-traded
Gold-mined court-ordered
Fort-bordered drawn-quartered
Pox-spreaded deregulated
Wealth-hoarded
Mass-sacred live-backward
Booze-smuggled gun-holstered
Blade-scabbard treaty-brokered
Baby-boomered divide-conquered
Townhouse-gated clan-faded
Children-taken bloodbath-waded
Correctly-stated minds-erased
And Canadian-valued
Settler soldier
He's a he's a
Settler soldier
Except instead of spreading disease
And igniting cannon
He watches cameras
And pushes pencils
To lay his pipes to rest
This man he lays his pipes to rest
To lay his pipes to rest
He lays them deep in the earth
To lay his pipes to rest
This man he lays his pipes to rest
To lay his pipes to lay
He lays his pipes
To rest
In the earth
Here we go
They lay pipes to rest (Again again)
Beneath the earth
He lays his pipes
And the ocean surge (Again again)
They lay their pipes to rest
And it burns and it burns and it burns
(They lay they lay their pipes to rest)
They lay pipes to rest
My spirit wakes again
Workers stand abreast
Wearing reflective vests
Police checkpoint ahead
While their judge sits on a bench
Forests blaze across continents
Smell this putrid stench
Trucker high on a seat
Mercen AR-15
Smelling diesel fuel green
Sludge thick maple leaf
A quill an inkwell
Injunction registry
Trading furs lies
Gold coins and beads
Bars of pipe
Beneath earth
Woods alight
Oceans surge
Bars of pipe
Feel them laid
Woods alight
We cannot wait
Bars of pipe
Beneath earth earth earth
Woods alight and the
Oceans surge
Bars of pipe
Feel them laid
Woods alight
We cannot wait
They lay pipes to rest
My spirit wakes again
Workers stand abreast
Wearing reflective vests
Police checkpoint ahead
While their judge sits on a bench
Forests blaze across continents
Smell this putrid stench
Trucker high on a seat
Mercen AR-15
Smelling diesel fuel green
Sludge thick maple leaf
A quill an inkwell
Injunction registry
Trading furs lies
Gold coins and beads
Bars of pipe
Beneath earth
Woods alight
Oceans surge
Bars of pipe
Feel them laid
Woods alight
We cannot wait
Bars of pipe
Beneath earth earth earth
Woods alight and the
Oceans surge
Bars of pipe
Feel them laid
Woods alight
We cannot wait
Divided captured
They make the bucket
We are the crab
It's without a treaty
But but but with enclosure
They seize the land
Their laws are bullshit
Discarding their own science lab
Whispers in English courtroom
Where they set the trap trap
Trans Mountain's camp
Intricate path shown on Google Maps
Overtime clocked
And bacon sizzling for cash
Bitumen now sinking
In the wake of wrath
When the eagle feather burns
It will all turn to ash
Turn to ash
Pipes to rest
It turns to ash
They lay their pipes to rest
And it burns and it burns
And it burns and it burns
And it burns
From the sludge emerge monsters
Erupted from their contract offers
Black liquids fill their coffers
Indigenous filling their crosshairs
We rise in our resistance
Shoulder to shoulder insistent
For decades we waited and listened
Our next steps our mission
Dark days ahead
Test what we have said
Testing all our lessons
Enact protective methods
Not the first we've been arrested
Looking ahead with those spiritual senses
The Thunderbird is present
With ancestors we're strengthened
Bars of pipe
Beneath earth
Woods alight
Oceans surge
Bars of pipe
Feel them laid
Woods alight
We cannot wait
Bars of pipe
Beneath earth
Woods alight
Oceans surge
Bars of pipe
Feel them laid
Woods alight
We cannot wait
