Truth In The Shadows

[Verse 1]

Yo, let me tell you 'bout the truth
It's hidden in the shadows
While our veterans sleep on streets
Our tax dollars are stolen

They send our money overseas
To countries we don't know
While our own people suffer
It's a cold and cruel show.

[Pre-Chorus]

They talk about equality
But it's all a big lie
While they push their agenda
Our country's on the decline

They spend billions on gender stuff
In countries far away
But back at home
Our people are struggling every day

[Chorus]

We need to wake up
Open our eyes
See the truth behind the lies
They're spending our money
On things we can't see
While our country's in trouble
And our future's at stake.

[Verse 2]

Elbows up, inflation is up
Immigration is up, crime is up
Taxes are up, unemployment is up
> Harper left Canada with a one billion dollar surplus
> Since then Trudeau and Carney have put Canada into a national debt of one trillion, two hundred eighty-one billion, seven hundred forty-five million, five hundred thousand dollars
> The debt-to-GDP ratio has risen from 31.2% in 2019 to 42.2% in 23
> The liberal government has increased spending and debt to unprecedented levels.
> They've raised taxes on middle-income families, and 86 per cent of them pay more now than in 2015.
> The government has also spent millions on failed initiatives like the CanArrive app, which cost taxpayers $54 million.
> $1.5 billion spent on the Phoenix pay system, which has been a disaster.
> And don't forget, they spend 11.2 billion on overseas gender programs.

[Bridge]

They say it's for the greater good
But I ain't buying that
When our own people are hurting
And our country's under attack

We need to stand up
And make a change
Before it's too late
And we're left in the rain

[Chorus]

We need to wake up
Open our eyes
See the truth behind the lies
They're spending our money
On things we can't see
While our country's in trouble
And our future's at stake

[Outro]

So here's the truth
Straight from the heart
Our country's in trouble
And we need to make a start

Let's stand up for what's right
And make them see the light
Before it's too late
And we're left in the night
