From the rock album "Isumataq" This song came about from a conversation with Ken Kirkby about the taking over of Canada by the Europeans and the miss managing of it. Then it dawned on my to put together headlines into a story line to bring about an understanding about our society.
Over 25 years later and it is still the same and still relevant.

Lyrics

Rifles Bibles and Booze

Rifles, bibles and booze Rifles, bibles and booze
Rifles, bibles and booze Rifles, bibles and booze

The people are dying
The children are crying
The mothers are pleading
The fathers lay bleeding

Economies are grinding
Lawyers are suing
Politicians are debating
The homeless are waiting

Rifles, bibles and booze

Walls are falling
Unions are striking
Tensions are risings
Crops are failing

Tankers are sinking
Bank keeps funding
Engineers are still doing
The healthy are coughing

Rifles, bibles and booze Rifles, bibles and booze
Rifles, bibles and booze Rifles, bibles and booze

The poor are complaining
The wealthy are explaining
The planet keeps spinning
And no one in winning

Technology’s advancing
The devil is dancing
Souls need saving
Profits are pondering

Acid is raining
Ocean’s are rising
Water starts burning
The guilty are denying

Rifles, bibles and booze Rifles, bibles and booze
Rifles, bibles and booze Rifles, bibles and booze
