dear coaches corner - propagandhi lyrics
(chris hannah)
dear ron maclean
dear coach’s corner
i’m writing in order
for someone to explain
to my niece the distinction
between these mandatory pre-game group rites of submission
and the rallies at nuremberg
specifically the function
the ritual serves in conjunction
with what everybody knows
is in the end a kid’s game
i’m just appealing to your sense of fair play
when i say she’s puzzled by
this incessant pressure for her to not defy
collective will [and] yellow-ribboned lapels
as the soldiers inexplicably rappel
down from the arena rafters
if it not so insane
they’ll be grounds for screaming laughter
dear ron maclean
i wouldn’t bother with these questions
if i didn’t sense some spiritual connection
we may not be the same
but it’s not like we’re from different planets
we both love this game so much we can hardly f-cking stand it
alberta-born and prairie-raised
ain’t a sheet of ice north of fargo i ain’t played
penhold to the gatineau
every fond memory of childhood that i know
[is] somehow connected
to the culture of
this game; i just can’t let it go
i guess it comes down to
what kind of world you want to live in
if diversity is disagreement
disagreement is treason
well don’t be surprised if we find ourselves reaping
a strange and bitter fruit
that sad old man beside you
keeps feeding to young minds as virtue
it takes a village to raise a child
a flag to raze the children
till they’re nothing more than ballasts for fulfilling
a madman’s dream of a paradise
complexity reduced to black and white
how do i
protect her from
this cult of death?
