Текст песни: Call to Glory + перевод

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
