Aren't we Lucky?

Dear children of the maple leaf
 please lend to me an ear
We lose a little freedom, friends
 with every passing year.
The City of Kawartha Lakes,
 a title oh so grand,
Was thrust into our faces.
 We just don't understand!

 Chorus:
    Aren't we so very lucky
    In this country so divine
    To have the mighty wisdom
    As is in the party line?

The schoolhouse too has felt the pinch
 with discipline long gone
Our teachers sure must ask themselves
 just why they carry on.
The Bible and the golden rule
 not relevant today
But if it's party policy
 I guess we have to say:
(Chorus)

Our health care, once the greatest,
 now in sad disarray
When from these halls of healing
 patients now get turned away
If twice as many doctors trained
 to increase competition
Do we dare think such a move
 would help such a condition?
(Chorus)

Firearm registration, too
 has naught to do with crime;
'Twill cost the honest taxpayer
 a lot of cash and time.
This blatant dictatorial scheme
 is totally unsound
All it will do is drive the
 situation underground
(Chorus)

Election time our politicians
 swear that if elected
They'dll do their best and all the rest
 but as we all suspected
Eight short years in office
 gives a lifetime salary
They'll represent us if it's within
 Their party policy
(Chorus)
