Don’t f**k with trying to change the name of Lake Ontario.
CTV: Canadian singer-songwriter Bryan Adams has released a new track taking aim at Donald Trump and his choice to change the name of a great lake. The single, “Lake Ontario,” was released as part of the musician’s new album How’s It Goin.’ In the song, Adams slams Trump’s executive order to change the name to Lake America, ignoring the fact that the lake was called Ontario based on a first nation’s name.
Lake Ontario
From glacial erosion – to indigenous care From European exploration – to industrial wear and tear The “lake of shining waters” is what the Iroquois called her It’s a first nations name – not an executive order
But things weren’t going his way in Iran So like a baby tossing the toys from the pram He may have thought it best to throw a low blow And create a real dog and pony show But it feels like another distraction While the Epstein files were getting traction One day they’ll come out and we’ll say “there you go” And then we’ll all dive into Lake Ontario
After centuries of trade and war People settled down on the banks and shores All rivalries and conflicts – had all but ceased But it just took one dude to break that peace
But things weren’t going his way in Iran So like a baby tossing the toys from the pram He may have thought it best to throw a low blow And create a real dog and pony show But it feels like another distraction While the Epstein files were getting traction One day they’ll come out, and we’ll say “there you go” And then we’ll all dive into Lake Ontario
