Music Video & Lyrics - Canada's Really Big! - The Arrogant Worms

The musical trio known as The Arrogant Worms originates from Ontario, Canada and began performing together back in 1991. The bands sense of humour shines through with their funny lyrics that poke fun at my/our/their country and it did have me chuckling! This comedic and musical group loves to make fun of us but it's all in good fun, check it out unless you're the sensitive type and take things too personally ;) ...

Canada's Really Big - Music Video




Canada's Really Big
by... The Arrogant Worms

Lyrics

When I look around me
I can't believe what I see
It seems as if this country
Has lost its will to live
The economy is lousy
We barely have an army
But we can still stand proudly
'Cause Canada's really big

We're the second largest country
On this planet Earth
And if Russia
Keeps on shrinking
Then soon we'll be first
(as long as we keep Quebec)

The USA has tanks
And Switzerland has banks
They can keep them, thanks
They just don't amount
'Cause when you get down to it
You find out what the truth is
It isn't what you do with it
It's the size that counts!

Most people
Will tell you
That France is pretty large
But you can put
Fourteen Frances
Into this land of ours
(it'd take a lotta work, it'd take a whole lotta work)

We're larger than Malaysia
Almost as big as Asia
We're bigger than Australia
And it's a continent
So big we seldom bother
To go see one another
But we often go to other
Countries for vacations

Our mountains
Are very pointy
Our prairies are not
The rest is
Kinda bumpy
But, man, do we have a lot
(we gotta lot of land, we gotta whole lot of land)

So stand up and be proud
And sing out very loud
We stand out from the crowd 'cause
Canada's really big!

Wavin' Flag - Lyrics

(All)
When I get older
I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag

(K'naan)
Born from a throne
Older than Rome
But violent prone
Poor people zone

(Nelly Furtado)
But its my home
All I have known

(Sam Roberts)
Where I got grown
But now its gone

(Avril Lavigne)
Out of the darkness
In came the carnage
Threatening my very survival

(Pierre Bouvier of Simple Plan)
Fractured my streets
And broke all my dreams

(Tyler Connolly from Theory of a Deadman)
Now Feels like defeat to wretched retreat

(All)
So we strugglin’

(Kardinal Offishall)
Fighting to eat

(All)
And we wonderin’

(Kardinal Offishall)
If we’ll be free

(Jully Black)
We cannot wait for some faithful day
It’s too far away so right now I say

(All)
When I get older
I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom
Just like a waving flag
And then it goes back (x3)

Ahhho ahhho ahhho

(Lights)
So many wars, settling scores

(Deryck Whibley of Sum 41)
All that we’ve been through
And now there is more

(Serena Ryder)
I hear them say love is the way

(Jacob Hoggard of Hedley)
Love is the answer that’s what they say

(Emily Haines)
But were not just dreamers
Of broken down grievers

(Hawsley Workman)
A hand will reach us
And we will not see ya

(Drake)
This can’t control us
No it can’t hold us down

(Chin Injeti)
We gon' pick it up even though we still struggling

(Pierre Lapointe)
Au nom de la survie (In the name of survival)

(All)
And we wondering

(Pierre Lapointe)
Battant pour nos vie (Fighting for our lives)

(All)
We patiently wait
For some other day

(Fefe Dobson and Esthero)
Thats too far away so right now I say

(All)
When I get older
I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom
Just like a waving flag
And then it goes back (x3)
(x2)

(Drake - Rapping)
Uhh – well alright
How come when the media stops covering
And there’s a little help from the government
We forget about the people still struggling
And assume that its really all love again, nahh
See we don’t have to wait for things to break apart
If you weren’t involved before it’s never too late to start
You probably think that it’s too far to even have to care
Well take a look at where you live what if it happened there?
You have to know the urge to make a change lies within
And we can be the reason that they see their flag rise again

(Nikki Yanofsky & Drake)
When I get older
I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom
Just like a wavin’ flag

(Matt Mays)
And then it goes back

(Justin Nozuka)
And then it goes back

(Nikki Yanofsky)
Then it goes back

(All)
When I get older

I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom
Just like a waving flag
And then it goes back (x3)
(x2)

(Justin Bieber)
When I get older
When I get older
I will be stronger
Just like a waving flag

Music Video and Lyrics - 'Oh Canada' by Classified

It's time to shake up your day with a catchy little tune called

 'Oh Canada' by Classified. It's been stuck in my mind since hearing it on the

MUCH Music countdown yesterday.

 These east coasters are from Nova Scotia and are proud

to be Canadian and not afraid to show it! This is a great song guys,

both music and lyrics...cheers to you and to being a proud Canadian! 

Oh Canada - Classified

Oh Canada - Classified - Song Lyrics

(Oh Canada we stand on guard, for thee)

I told this guy where I was from

He said 'Oh, Canada'

Kinda laughs it off, real funny huh?

Yeah, uh, come on

(O Canada)

1-2, 1-2,

Mic check, 1-2, 1-2

Yeah

(O Canada)

Uh, yea

From the land of the lost

Trans-Canada crossed

Patriotic and a honor

With a hand on my heart

From the greatest of lakes

To the greenest of greens

To the rockiest mountains

And everything in between

O-O-O Canada

Oh, you're no fan of us?

'Cause our movie and TV shows are so amateur?

Yeah, we laugh it off, that don't really bother me

Look, we ain't serious unless we really gotta be

Humorous attitude like Kids in the Hall

Like Jim Carey, Mike Myers, hell we claiming them all

It's the Great White North

Home of the funniest actors

The brunt of the joke

With an abundance of laughter

The red and white flag

Keep it high, keep it visual

People say Canada and get stereotypical

Think we finish every sentence with buddy or bye

And if it ain't that its either dude, eh or guy

(Canadaka eh)

Yeah we consider it people

And smoking marijuana

We consider it legal

Still doing rap like the 1990's

But that's how we like it off timed and grimey

I know where I'm from and I told ya before

North of America hard to ignore

Every time I go away I tell them for sure

I'm from Canada O-O-O Canada

(O Canada)

O Canada O-O-O Canada

(O Canada)

I'm from Canada

O-O-O Canada

The class makes a sick beat, we call it a classic (x4)

I've been around the globe and

Heard the confusion

Honestly a lot of y'all are ignorant and stupid

Yes, we have microwaves, tv's and cell phones

Unintelligent fuck we invented the telephone

We made Yahtzee

The light bulb, hockey

And bred the greatest player's Gretzky to Crosby

We all got at least one drinking buddy

And after one drink, all of us think we're funny

Our national mascot's a damn beaver

O Canada we love our beaver

Home of Hell's Angels the RCMP

Home of Gordon Lightfoot and SCTV

The Underground Rail Road

Georges St. Pierre

Right here is where he calls home

Our health care system

Y'all know it's free

Keep our girls banging with a full mouth of teeth

I won't even get into the music on the streets

They say hip hop is dead

Naw, its up north with me

I could do this all day its a part of my routine

But supper's almost done and tonight poutine

I know where I'm from and I told ya before

North of America hard to ignore

Every time I go away I tell em' for sure

I'm from Canada O-O-O Canada

(I'm from the east coast of Canada)

O-O-O Canada

(I'm from the east east east coast)

Yo yo!

See I'm from Canada so sometimes the words come out of my mouth like this

get used to it!

(O Canada, we stand on guard for thee)

I Believe (lyrics)

There comes a moment

When my heart must stand alone

On this lonely path I've chosen,
Like a house that's not a home
Sometimes when I feel I've had enough
And I feel like giving up
You willed me to be all I can be
Now nothing can stop me

I believe in the power that comes
From a world brought together as one
I believe together we'll fly
I believe in the power of you and I

This is the moment we have dreamed of all our lives
We'll be the change we wish from others
We'll stand tall for what is right
And in my heart there'll be no doubt
The arms of the world will come reaching out
And embrace me to be all I can be
Now nothing can stop me

I believe in the power that comes
From a world brought together as one
I believe together we'll fly
I believe in the power of you and I

I believe the time is right now
Stand tall and make the world proud
I believe together we'll fly
I believe in the power of you and I
I believe in the power of you and I

I believe, I believe, I believe in
I believe, I believe in you
I believe, I beleive, I believe in
I believe, I believe in you
I believe, I believe, I believe in
I believe, I believe in you
I believe, I believe, I believe in you

I believe together we'll fly
I believe in the power of you and I

I believe the time is right now
Stand tall and make the world proud
I believe together we'll fly
I believe in the power of you and I
Power
Of you and I
Together we'll fly
I believe in the power of you and I
