51st State

Never thought I'd see the day
Never thought I'd see the plan
Where everything could get harder
For the working man
Yeah, we're better off together
We're way better hand in hand
But the 49th parallel
Has become a line drawn in the sand

Let me give it to you straight
When you're talking 'bout my home
You better show some respect
'Cause up here we take care of our own
So let me give you some advice, mister
You might have too much on your plate
Go and load us up with tariffs
But we'll never be
The 51st state

Maybe you've forgotten
Maybe you just don't care
But we always stood beside you
For that liberty we share
You can push us to the brink
But where the open road divides
You'll find a wall of maple
With us on the other side

So let me give it to you straight
When you're talking 'bout my home
You better show some respect
'Cause up here we take care of our own
So let me give you some advice, mister
You might have too much on your plate
You're welcome 'cross the border
But we'll never be
The 51st state
