i made it through amchitka testing. john wayne and nuclear bombs. year i made it to the general strike but jack munro he sold us out. yeah i made it through the corporate greed and expo 86 that made us bleed. chorus: there was more to it than meets the eye. growin' up in b.c. i was hit by the greed and lies. it's our tradition. that's what i got from b.c. yeah yeah, yeah yeah. i made it through too many billys. vander zalm and the bennett's too. i made it through high school hatred. they kicked the strangers and spit on them too. nothing's changed, for 200 years, nothing's changed. i made it through the smilin' buddha. police boots and chokeholds. i made it through landlord arson. i ran from the house with my guitar. (chorus) nothing's changed, for 200 years, nothings changed. i made it through stein valley. the loggers there they wanted to kill us. i made it through the squamish 5. cruise missile guidance and porno store bombs. i got a ride in the police elevator they wanted to beat me, they wanted to beat me. but i crawled through, i made it through. i ran the gauntlet, i got through. (chorus)
