Stompin' Tom Connors - Believe in Your Country lyrics

Goodbye Jim and Jackie, goodbye John and May, We hate to see you leaving, bound for the U.S.A. But if you don't believe your country should come before yourself, You can better serve your country, by living somewhere else! I know the times are changing, factories closing down, But if you stay and help us, we can turn these things around. But if you don't believe your country, should come before yourself, You can better serve your country, by living somewhere else! And while our politicians, divide our precious land; We speak in French and English, but they still don't understand. If you don't believe your country, should come before yourself, You can better serve your country, by living somewhere else! In a land that's short on heroes, they trade our jobs away; And we don't need no zeros to come and help us save the day. So if you don't believe your country, should come before yourself, You can better serve your country, by living somewhere else! And if you should find your heaven, where stars and stripes are flown, You'll learn to stand more proudly, than you ever stood back home. And they'll tell you that your country, must come before yourself, Or you'll have to serve your country by living somewhere else. So goodbye Jim and Jackie, goodbye John and May, We hope that you'll be happy, living in the U.S.A. 'Cause if you don't believe your country should come before yourself, You can better serve your country, by living somewhere else! If you don't believe your country, should come before yourself, You can better serve your country, by living somewhere else!
