Bryan Adams Drops Another Trump Diss Track And This One Mentions The Epstein Files

Bryan Adams loves Canada and has, shall we say, somewhat less positive feelings towards Donald Trump. The Canadian singer-songwriter, an Ontario native, has not one but two Trump diss tracks on his forthcoming album How's It Goin'. The first, "51st State," was a rebuke to Trump's efforts to annex Canada into the United States of America that Adams decided to release on Canada Day, naturally. The second, which Adams shared yesterday, is called "Lake Ontario."

Trump has, for some reason, become obsessed with renaming bodies of water. Last year, he signed an executive order changing the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America." Earlier this year, he followed that up with another executive order renaming Lake Ontario to "Lake America." More recently, he's even floated the idea of renaming the Atlantic Ocean the "American Ocean" or "Trump Ocean," although Google apparently pushed back on that one. Bryan Adams is pushing back too, through the medium of song.

"Empires and regimes, dictators and kings, they all come and go. Lake Ontario is forever," Adams says in an statement. "This is a song for all the sane people on both shores who know that the current madness will pass, and that Lake Ontario will always be Lake Ontario." Here's a sample of the lyrics:

From glacial erosion - to indigenous care
From European exploration - to industrial wear and tear
The “lake of shining waters” is what the Iroquois called her
It’s a first nations name - not an executive order

But things weren’t going his way in Iran
So like a baby tossing the toys from the pram
He may have thought it best to throw a low blow
And create a real dog and pony show
But it feels like another distraction
While the Epstein files were getting traction
One day they’ll come out and we’ll say “there you go”
And then we’ll all dive into Lake Ontario

After centuries of trade and war
People settled down on the banks and shores
All rivalries and conflicts - had all but ceased
But it just took one dude to break that peace

Listen to "Lake Ontario" below.
