Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Friday drop, volume hundred-sixty, number forty-three
Four commissions filed their papers, let me set the scene for free
Canada Revenue Agency's in there with a quiet note
Canadian International Trade Tribunal's got a case to tote
They're the referees when imports spark a border fight
Tariffs, dumping claims, deciding who's treated right

[Chorus]
That's the gazette, paper trail of power
Four names stacked up this very hour
Not a headline, not a shout
Just the fine print spelling out
What the government's allowed to do
Before it ever reaches you

[Verse 2]
CRTC's riding shotgun, airwaves on their desk
Broadcasting, telecom licenses, keeping signal blessed
Public Service Commission's watching who gets hired in
Fair and open staffing, that's the rule they're guarding, kin
Four lanes, one highway, each commission keeps its post
Nobody's famous for it, but it's the system's backbone, almost

[Chorus]
That's the gazette, paper trail of power
Four names stacked up this very hour
Not a headline, not a shout
Just the fine print spelling out
What the government's allowed to do
Before it ever reaches you

[Bridge]
Environment's got notices tucked in the same report
Quiet lines from a department doing work of another sort
Here's a word for your pocket, something rarely said—
Promulgate, it means to post a rule, make it known instead
Not whispered, not hidden, published plain and square
That's what Friday's gazette does, laying business out there

[Verse 3]
Part Two's still humming from last week, nothing fresh to add today
So we tip the hat and let that older story stay
Today it's Part One only, volume forty-three in print
Four commissions, one department, there's your weekly hint
No drama, just the record, the government's own diary
Small print now, binding later — that's the gazette's whole theory

[Chorus]
That's the gazette, paper trail of power
Four names stacked up this very hour
Not a headline, not a shout
Just the fine print spelling out
What the government's allowed to do
Before it ever reaches you

[Verse 4]
Somewhere in an office, a clerk is stamping dates
Filing numbers, cross-checking names, closing out debates
No cameras rolling, no anthem plays when the ruling's signed
Just a civil servant doing work of a particular kind
Think of every license, every tariff, every claim
Started as a notice like this one, quiet, unknown by name
That's democracy's plumbing, running underneath the floor
You don't see the pipes until you need them, then you learn what they're for
So raise a glass to the boring parts, the ones that hold the frame
The gazette keeps turning pages, Friday after Friday, just the same

[Outro]
Promulgate it, post it plain, let the record speak
Canada Gazette, same quiet work, every single week

[Chorus]
That's the gazette, paper trail of power
Four names stacked up this very hour
Not a headline, not a shout
Just the fine print spelling out
What the government's allowed to do
Before it ever reaches you
