We never know how to embrace success
why film making here is short of a mess
we don't even know what films are ours
to laud maple leaf productions for hours

The maple leaf is on our flag
talk about banners in schools
that's a drag
impatient talent is lapped up south of the border
young prospects won't wait until they grow older.

The actor needs to be applauded on stage
but success is locked up,
it dwells in a cage...
the artist wants to receive some notation
everybody wants to enjoy a decent vacation

Ironically talent isn't what we like to embrace
but worry about Canadian content in the media race.
Nationalism is in the essence of what I say
this taxpayer pays for local talent to stay.
