Tattered Sleeve: Justin Calling

Justin Calling to Albertan towns

Now get prepared for the writ to come down

Justin Calling to the oilsands

Forget about Pierre and his Energy plans

Justin Calling, now look here to us

The new Trudeaumania is on the up’n’up

Mulcair isn’t catching

Harper’s on the way out

The Cons are corrupted

The Greens got no clout

A BQ error, leaves the left in the clear

And Justin is calling and I’ll…

Go for the winner!

Justin calling, yes, I was there, too

An’ you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!

Justin calling to the gun registry arm

Forget it brother, that’s a horse that’s long gone!

Justin calling to the zombies of Ignatieff

Quit bitchin’ bout, those (true) ads all negative

Justin calling, and I don’t want to flout

But while you were sulking, I glad-handed about

Justin calling, see we ain’t getting high

But there’s taxes to be raised from making it legalized

Mulcair just ain’t catching

Harper’s on the way out

The Cons are corrupted

The Greens got no clout

A BQ error, leaves the left in the clear

And Justin is calling and I’ll…

Go for the winner!

Justin calling, yes, I got swept up too

And you know what they said? Sacha’s onboard too!

Justin calling through the Mop & Pail bile

After all this, won’t you give me a smile?

Justin calling

I never hoped so much, so much so much!

We now are ruled by the All-knowing Great Leader, who will not be swayed by any finger-waving from the opposition benches. Stephen Harper is a Christian Fundamentalist, whose views are shaped by his beliefs. He now has carte-blanche.

How far will he go?
Just watch him.
