[Verse 1] Mom and Dad, you raised me on values that stand, Integrity’s the rock where you built this man. Principles over everything, you made that clear, But this debt piling up—doubling year after year. You said, “Live true, don’t chase what’s fake,” But their spending’s reckless, no thought for our sake. My generation’s stuck with a bill so steep, That ain’t the honour you taught me to keep. [Chorus] So I’m standing tall, I won’t vote their way, Their path betrays the principles you raised me to weigh. Values and truth, that’s what you gave, Not scandals or promises that lead to the grave. It’s not too late, let’s vote for what’s right, For integrity and honour—on principle, we fight. [Verse 2] You taught me to hold my head high and proud, But their policies choke the dreams we’re allowed. Homes out of reach, costs crushing our plans, While they talk big with empty hands. Scandals stack up, ethics thrown aside, Token gestures where truth should reside. That’s not the Canada you said we should build, Where principles lead and integrity’s fulfilled. [Chorus] So I’m standing tall, I won’t vote their way, Their path betrays the principles you raised me to weigh. Values and truth, that’s what you gave, Not scandals or promises that lead to the grave. It’s not too late, let’s vote for what’s right, For integrity and honour—on principle, we fight. [Verse 3] You said family’s first, with values to guide, But their choices make it hard to provide. Starting a life feels like climbing a wall, Is this the future you dreamed for us all? You taught me principles don’t bend or sway, But what you’re considering now—it’s pulling away. From the truth you instilled, from the right way to be, It’s not who you are; you can still break free. [Bridge] I know loyalty’s strong, it’s tough to let go, But their record’s clear—it’s a betrayal, you know. Principles matter more than any old tie, You taught me to stand firm, to never comply. It’s not too late to have your say, Vote for values—integrity’s the only way. [Outro] Mom and Dad, hear the truth in my voice, You taught me what’s right, now it’s time for your choice. Don’t let their noise drown the values you gave, Stand for principles, be bold, be brave. [instrumental break] It’s not about parties or what’s gone before, It’s integrity and honour—on principle, we soar.
