lyrics

I cancelled my trip to America
Where everyone clutches a gun
And the president rates all the women
On a scale from ten down to one
Yes I've cancelled my trip to America
Where they're building a honkin' big wall
With a Nazi salute to the man in the suit
Who pays no damn taxes at all

The winters are long here in Canada
Sometimes it's nice to get away
From the ice and the snow, and the cold winds that blow
And head down to the old U.S.A.
But lately it seems an American dream
vacation is something to dread
So the next time I roam, I'll stay closer to home
And visit Alberta instead

I cancelled my trip to America
Where democracy's under attack
With truth in retreat, enter fraud and deceit
And racism makes a comeback
Yes, I've cancelled my trip to America
The co-opted home of the brave
And though I'll not see the land of the free
Think of the money I'll save

Yes I've cancelled my trip to America
The co-opted home of the brave
And though I'll not see the land of the free
Think of the money I'll save.

Hey ho, Ho hey
Not gonna go to the U.S.A.
Hey ho, Ho hey
Stayin' away from the U.S.A.

Hey ho, Ho hey
Not gonna go to the U.S.A.
Hey ho, Ho hey
Stayin' away from the U.S.A.
