Скачать или смотреть Berlin, ON - Luke Michielsen

The city of Kitchener, Ontario voted in May 1916 to change the name of the city from its original name, Berlin. The vote passed by only a slim margin.

LYRICS:

I understand the anger on both sides--
My grandfather's disdain for the makers of the car I drive
In a foreign land we created a divide
They changed the name of the town where we live
But there's a history we can't hide.

We all have an evil past
Carpet bombs and mustard gas
We can't let hate have the last word
So let's change it back

Berlin, Berlin
Berlin

If we change it back it'll still be colonial
Somebody told me songs shouldn't be political
I disagree -- I've learned the opposite
Because we all have music in us
We just have to learn how to find it
