Canadians of Film & TV

from Demos 2016​-​2017 by Shit Whitman

lyrics

hope I didn’t rub you wrong
not wanting muddy waters re written
into some white guy’s song
like this but a little less self effacing
that don’t make it
ok to say shit
as a replacement
for what you mean

it’s time we both agreed
to concede the belief
that bunny wailer’s still waiting
on the royalties
that lee perry forgot to pay him
for his riddims
they say shit
if you listen

you can hear the sun
come undone while you lie in the pouring rain
but bongwater waster advocates
appropriation of a culture which was shaped
by the enslaved
their cry
for freedom
crown on the cage
rings with such beauty

follow the stars there’s a place where
they won’t hurt you that much
on the screens and in the towns
they represent the face of everything which we are not

kind, accepting:
forgive me, I’m a burden on this home
so
farewell friends
I’m off to Oshawa
for the day
perhaps I’ll stay
