Intense Gord He has a way with words " it'd be better for us if you don't understand" They don't know how old I am, They found armor in my belly From the sixteenth century Conquistador, I think They don't know how old I am, They found armor in my belly Passion out of machine revving tension Lashing out at machine revving tension Rushing by the machine revving tension Morning broke out the backside of a truck-stop The end of a line a real, rainbow-likening, luck stop Where you could say I became chronologically fucked up Put ten bucks in just to get the tank topped up Then I found a place it's dark and it's rotted It's a cool, sweet kinda place Where the coppers won't spot it And I destroyed the map, I even thought I forgot it, However, everyday I'm dumping the body It'd be better for us if you don't understand It'd be better for me if you don't understand Then I found a place it's dark and it's rotted It's a cool, sweet kinda place Where the coppers won't spot it And I destroyed the map that I'd carefully dotted, However, everyday I'm dumping the body It'd be better for us if you don't understand It'd be better for us if you don't understand It'd be better for me if you don't understand Let me out Let me out Let me out Let me out Let me out Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Puzzleboy 603 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) Great band; only issue with Gordie was his indigenous bandwagon rants the last couple years...... although there are many on that bandwagon as of late (looks at Justin).

Always something about indigenous people blah blah blah regardless of the subject matter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Puzzleboy 603 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Yep, Trudeau and Wynne are both legacy building. I have no issue with aboriginal/indigenous peoples...... but they've certainly been apologized to enough, and the answer to their issues is not to throw more money at them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pt3189 85 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 My very old grandfather told me 40 years ago the only time you ever see an Indian or a Farmer on tv you can be sure they are asking for something. It was ok for him to say it because he was both. Lot of memories of that guy. He was probably 90 when he said it to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
