It Ain't Funny

His lullaby, the waves outside his window
 His father and himself made a wonderful pair
 Five hundred years of fishing in his family
 Still the government wouldn't listen when he said
 "trouble down there"
 It ain't funny- it ain't funny no more
 Fat cat smirking in the land of plenty
 Making jokes about a people from a gentler time
 Sanctioned and applauded the whole gang rape of the
 place
 But like any rape they blame the victim for the crime
 It ain't funny it ain't funny no more
 Now the Newfs are becoming a strain on the Ottawa
 wallet
 There's no need to be nice- what's left is up for
 sale
 And the best small boatsmen in the world are on the
 dole
 Stupid and lazy according to the Globe and Mail
 It ain't funny
 Nobody's laughing now
 It ain't funny
 Something has changed somehow
 It ain't funny, it ain't funny no more
