Ever since I was born in a northern town Ive been digging myself out From a time when I hadnt seen Anything worth remembering I would aspire to better life To feast my eyes and expand my mind Id lie awake, I could not wait To leave this place behind Your Ontario town is just a burial ground For old friends Your Ontario town is just a burial ground Inspired by hopelessness From where my discontent once began I miss the nature and the wilderness But not the people there As old stores will close their doors Other ones may change their names But old friends still live their lives Where I would have died of shame Your Ontario town is just a burial ground For old friends Your Ontario town is just a burial ground You say that you grew up You say that you tried I think you took the easy way out I say you gave up I say you died Youll say that youre content Youll say theres no regrets But I think you took the easy way out For if youre not dreaming anymore Youre already dead What a shame for those who chose To be wasted in the north What a shame to know nothing more Than the town where you were born Your Ontario town is just a burial ground For old friends Your Ontario town is just a burial ground Kick over the stone that bares your name I spit on the snow that covers your grave
