The Harper Song, a.k.a. Steve It’s Time to Leave
Words and music by John Roby
Video recorded and edited by Scott Stephenson

Steve Steve it’s time to leave
It’s time to close the Harper show
Your one man band has got to go
Time to take a long long walk in the snow
Steve it’s time to leave

In the good old days we had democracy
But now it’s Steve-autocracy
With a daily dose of hypocrisy
Spewing from the PMO
There’s Oda’s yes or no about a not
And where’s the bill for all those jails you’ve bought
It’s called contempt and like it or not
You’ve really got to go

Steve Steve it’s time to leave
It’s time for this charade to end
You’re running out of rules to bend
You won’t get by with a little help from your friends
Steve it’s time to leave

Remember all that campaign spin
Transparency would soon begin
Your in and out spending went out and in
Where the sun don’t shine
Another slice of Harper sleaze
A little thing called Detainees
You close down the house whenever you please
And you claim to have a spine

Steve Steve it’s time to leave
Time to go screw something else
Time to put your crown on the shelf
Time to go and prorogue yourself
Steve it’s time to leave
