Dans une grande réserve
En haut des États
Le parlement s'énerve
Pour l'arrivée du Président

Y sont tous invités
Les ministres, les pantins
Les souffleurs, les pots de vin
Les "grosses gommes" anonymes
Discours caméléons
La censure en prime
Échangent librement 
Des promesses d'élection

On a les pluies acides
Le "fast food" insipide
L'arsenal de missiles 
Made in U.S.A.

Le Président s'avance
Il est fier d'annoncer
Qu'on fait tous partie
D'une belle société

Armée pour la paix
Le cash va rentrer
Et l'histoire ne fait 
Que recommencer

Comme dans tous les westerns
Y'a des cowboys et des indiens
Et la cavalerie 
Se garde le "punch" pour la fin

Welcome Yankee, welcome Yankee

Pendant ce temps-là
Y'a ceux qui  lancent un cri
Ceux qui n'ont pas les mots
Pour se défendre
Pendant les discours
Et les feux d'artifices
Y'a tous ceux qui se demandent
Si un jour ça va changer

Welcome Yankee, welcome Yankee

Les arpents de neige
Au nord du grand nord
Autrefois poétique
Sont devenus stratégiques
J'arrête sur l'autoroute
Prendre un autre café
On annonce l'arrivée
D'un autre président

Dans les tranchées bureaucratiques
Les couloirs informatiques
On annonce l'arrivée d'un autre Président
