[Verse 1] Hudson's Bay with eighty stores Nine thousand jobs behind closed doors The headlines blame the online wave But PE firms dug the grave They bought it up, they stripped it down Left empty shells in every town [Chorus] Follow the money, follow the chain Private equity's extraction game Never fifty-one, keep control Don't let foreign interests steal our soul IRR lies, the numbers fake Know what's real for Canada's sake [Verse 2] VetStrategy started here at home Canadian-owned, we called our own First PE sale, still north of border Second sale crossed the water Now foreign hands control the game While using our Canadian name [Chorus] Follow the money, follow the chain Private equity's extraction game Never fifty-one, keep control Don't let foreign interests steal our soul IRR lies, the numbers fake Know what's real for Canada's sake [Bridge] Six point six billion for defence But who owns the companies from hence? OSC wants retail in the pool Don't let misleading metrics fool The same fake returns that trapped the pros Will hurt the people no one knows [Verse 3] When Trump called us fifty-one Said we'd be his northern son We learned that sovereignty's at stake When foreign ownership's on the make Our businesses, our defence base Can't let PE set the pace [Chorus] Follow the money, follow the chain Private equity's extraction game Never fifty-one, keep control Don't let foreign interests steal our soul IRR lies, the numbers fake Know what's real for Canada's sake [Outro] What they know that you don't yet PE's not a safe sure bet Follow money, check the source Keep Canada on its course
