New Cable Ferry Sinks

The new cable ferry is a mistake
A money grabbing backroom deal
Cares not for life or limb or us
It is December the year 2016
the first year of service they boast
the longest cable ferry in the world
It is an afternoon and the full moon
tides are roaring down the channel
A fixed ferry cannot move left or right
the water crashes across the deck
the school bus is washed over board
no no this is bad nightmare a dream
no no no the numbers of lost thirty
and four more. Is the school bus
no no no not our precious children
BC Ferries wake up you silly bastards
Wake up and let the money game
cease we are more than a pawn in
your ego games we are alive breathing
we are alive and this is our island
