Canada vs America Lyrics

I'm from the city of love
We don't feel loved
So closed, shut down

I met a broken cliff
Heartbroke feeling
So close shut down
I don't want this to change
It's nice to breathe in
So closed, shut down

------------------------------#chorus
Big guns are comin' out
Big guns are comin' out
Big guns, big guns
------------------------------

Don't worry one of us
Children breathe in
So closed, shut down
Kids of America
Seeming to believe in
So closed, shut down
Damn you America!
Bloody feeling
Go shut down!

#chorus

I'm from the city of love
We all don't feel loved
So closed, shut down
I don't want this to change
Tired of being loved
So go shut down!

Big guns are coming out
(Damn you America)
Big guns are coming out
(I'm from the city of love)
Big guns are coming out
Big guns, big guns

#chorus

Cover art for Canada vs America lyrics by Broken Social Scene

this is my best guess at what the lyrics sound like to me:

your smile's like a cigarette hooked on a feeling so throw yourself down

your smile is a broken cliff and your heart's full of cement so throw yourself down

i don't want this chance (?) minus the breathing (?) so throw yourself down

the big guns are coming out the big guns are coming out the big guns are coming out the big guns, the big guns, the big guns

i don't want to live children are freezing so throw yourself down

??? leave me for believing so throw yourself down

??? blood and the bleeding so throw yourself down

the big guns are coming out the big guns are coming out the big guns are coming out the big guns, the big guns, the big guns

your smile's like a cigarette it relies on this feeling so throw yourself down

but i can't throw this chance mine is this healing so throw yourself down

the big guns are coming out the big guns are coming out the big guns are coming out the big guns, the big guns

i have no idea.. and i wish i did.

These lyrics are nowhere close to the actual ones, which, is sort of easy to hear if you listen closely to the inflection of kevin drew's voice on the EP recording..

I don't know why Kevin Drew would take any shots at Amy Millan or Stars with the "Your ex-lover is not dead..." part, considering both are fronting major label success now. I know at the Indie Awards in Toronto last month a lot of bands were badmouthing Kevin and BSS for being some elitist pricks...that including one of the member of Stars.

He's not taking a shot at Amy Millan. The reference is actually positive. Kevin loves his bandmates and friends. Simple as that.
