TORONTO CITY COUNCIL # 7
By
James Bredin

We don't seem to have any control over silly City Hall,
They seem to do what they like while we have to accept it and bawl,
The mere suggestion that maybe we should change things down there,
Maybe binding referendums and they would be more aware.

They consider this type of suggestion as more than heresy,
Like an oncoming global-warming climate-change prophesy,
They will not nod or listen or even give you the time of day,
Who are you to ask question make rules and get in their way?

The city is broke with a five hundred million dollar shortfall,
Don't ask a politician because they know nothing at all,
You might wonder why and how a city could be in such a mess,
Waiting for the Pan Am Games to tax and spend more and impress.
