lyrics

Eleven long years ago
I had no pension yet
So I went to Vanier Towers to work;
Just a three month contract
The other side of Riverain park

I thought I had it pretty good
And i was getting paid better than i probably should have
But it made me feel like i was slowly giving up the ghost
And a decade later I'm still locked in that post

Unwrap my life
There's so much more than this
I ain't no slave to love or civil bliss

But my beautiful wife
Her tender kiss
I ain't got no regrets or bucket list

I cut my teeth on Vanier Towers
Asbestos, cafeteria food, and 37.5 hours
Scabbing across the picket line
I'm not proud of myself, but I'm doing fine

I've grown a lot more bristle
A little more gristle
A lot less pistol
Somewhat less sizzle

Unwrap my life
There's so much more than this
I ain't no slave to love or civil bliss

But my beautiful wife
Her tender kiss
I ain't got no regrets or bucket list
