vocals,banjo,piano, keyboard: michael hermiston br br Prime Minister Stephen Harper prorogued (suspended) the Canadian Parliament during the 2010 Olympics. My father wrote the original song: Prorogue, Prorogue at that time. It was lost with the deletion of my "emotion999" channel....As PM Harper is proroguing parliament again, my dad wrote an updated version. br lyrics: br we are members of parliament who don't have to go to work br for our prime minister, Stevie Harper, granted us another perk br we'll watch the olympics from priviliged seat day after fine day br and while we enjoy the spectacle we'll draw down full pay br br unemployment, poverty, torture, war , pollution br don't have to talk abou that stuff, for here is the solution br sit and watch the athletes compete in games of spor and play ..... br br hey, hey hey there!!!! that was the last time he prorogued parliament.. what!! he's doing it again? br br Poor Wallen and Duffy (not poor Senators, but rich) br News stories to distract us from our heading to the ditch br A ditch of increasing inequality and rampant pollutions br Our elected MP's should be working for solutions br br Questions can be raised, although the answers may be fudged br Yet in Parliamentary democracy, by the people, they'll be judged br The government will say that they are doing just fine br But then all can listen to a different party line br br Prorogue, prorogue, hip, hip hooray br We don't have to go to work and still get our full pay br Prorogue, prorogue, right on brother Steve br We're just sitting fine; we love those clever webs you weave. br br Conservative party coffers have loads of money galore br Their rich corporate supporters are making more and more br Capital gains, dividends, and tax deductions too br Are all expenses claimed legitimate and true? br br We have the left, we have the right, who often disagree br Compromise is the price we pay in a democracy br To compromise ,we must discuss and all must have their say br But instead of work, our clever rogue, gives us a holiday br   br Prorogue, prorogue, hip, hip hooray br We don't have to go to work and still get our pay br Prorogue, prorogue, right on brother Steve br We're just sitting fine; we love those clever webs you weave. br   br Prime Minster Harper merely turns a blind eye br His perceptions of reality are but a pie in the sky br Global warming, poverty, and inequality grow br He says prorogue parliament -- maintain the status quo. br br Prorogue, prorogue, hip, hip hooray br We don't have to go to work and still get our pay br Prorogue, prorogue, right on brother Steve br We're just sitting fine; we love those clever webs you weave.
