Lake America

The boss of fake America
Wants to pull your strings
Needs you to be subservient
Loves to rename things
Had some trouble with Carney
Tariffs were a bust
Couldn’t get 50%
The prime minister pulled the plug

Running out of options
Only one way to go
Like the Kennedy Center
Renamed Lake Ontario
2 to 1 say he went too far
With friends with Canada
Nevertheless, he changed it anyway
to Lake America

Well you can change the name
But you can’t change the water
You can draw another line
You can’t change the border
You can put it on your map
You can put it on your sign
But if you ask a Canadian
It’s Lake Ontario every time

You can rename the lake
You can’t change the people
Old friends on the other side
Used to soar with the eagle
You can rename McDonald’s
You can rename Canada
We’re never going to call it
Lake America

Lake America
Lake Ontario
Call it what you want to call it
Can’t change what we know

Lake America
That’s what you want to say
North of the border
Lake Ontario is here to stay
