We gave you all our silver
we gave our gold
and you crippled all the rivers for the hydro that it holds
We gave you all the white pine
and our young ones as they grew
but we'll never give you the watershed
no matter what you do.
From the City of Toronto where the dirty deal was signed
to the waters of Temiskaming and the old Adams Mine.
40 million tonnes of garbage
300 miles of track.
Wešll fight you every inch of the way
and make sure you donšt come back.
chorus
You treat us like your backyard
when you want a place to play
and use us as a dumping ground
and ignore the things we say.
We can hold you at the bridges.
We can stop you at the roads.
We'll protect the sacred waters
and the mystery that it holds.
chorus
