Out for a Rip
Northern Rebel Anthem: Embracing the Wild Heart of the Great White North
Lyrics
I'm from the Great White North, right, like up above the States
I am from Canada, north of the United States.
The big land mass that the rest of the world hates
Canada is a large country that is often disliked by the rest of the world.
Well, we're like, above that, fuckin' north I guess
We are even farther north, and it's kind of boring here.
The big patch of trees where everybody's bored to death
Describing the vast forests where people feel bored.
We're just chillin' up here, sippin' syrup, playin' hockey
Life involves relaxing, enjoying maple syrup, and playing hockey.
Before we learn to walk, we can crosscheck properly
Emphasizing the early introduction to hockey skills.
Just rockin' plaid jackets, chainsaws we operate 'em right
People wear plaid jackets and are skilled with chainsaws.
Fuckin' eh right we do bud, we cut our weight in firewood
Proudly claiming proficiency in cutting firewood.
Every twenty minutes or so - smoke break!
Regular breaks for smoking are a part of the lifestyle.
And if the Leafs make the playoffs, I'll fuckin' jump in the lake
Expressing extreme excitement – willing to jump in a lake for joy.
Fuckin' buddy comes over to my place the other night
A friend invites the speaker to go for a drive.
And he's like "wanna go out for a rip?"
The invitation is to go for a drive, often associated with having a good time.
And I was like "fuckin' right!" (yeah)
Enthusiastically agreeing to the invitation.
So we hop in the truck and hit the mud and I was like
Heading out in a truck, enjoying the mud, and expressing excitement.
"Ooh fuck yeah bud!"
Exclaiming joyfully about the experience.
Just out for a rip are ya bud? Just out for a rip?
Repeating the theme of going for a drive and checking if the friend is doing the same.
Just out for a rip are ya bud? Just out for a rip?
Just out for a rip are ya bud? Just out for a rip?
-Just out for a rip are ya bud? Just out for a rip?
-I come from the land of the polite, where shit's covered in ice
Describing Canada as a polite land covered in ice.
And when I'm down in the States, they're like "you're too fuckin' nice"
When in the States, the speaker is perceived as overly nice.
I'm like "yeah we got manners, but fuckin' buddies still fight
Explaining that politeness doesn't prevent Canadians from fighting, swearing, and drinking.
And fuckin' swear and fuckin' drink all night"
Highlighting the rowdy behavior despite having manners.
Like this one time, me and fuckin' buddy are out havin' a dart
Recalling an incident of casually smoking and burning a hole in the speaker's coat.
And fuckin' buddy burns a hole in my coat
Describing the damage to the coat.
And I was like "fuck bud" 'cause the coat was pretty new, right?
Expressing frustration at the new coat being damaged.
And he's like "fuck you," so I put his head in a snowbank
Retaliating by putting the friend's head in a snowbank.
Just started fuckin' feeding him the right left
Physically confronting the friend and delivering punches.
Like fuckin' boom, boom, boom, "you had enough yet?"
Continuing the physical altercation and checking if the friend has had enough.
And he's like "okay, okay, fuck, chill out, shit"
The friend agrees to stop the fight.
So I pulled him out of the snow and we went out for a rip (yeah)
After the altercation, they continue their enjoyable drive.
Just out for a rip are ya bud? (oh fuck yeah) Just out for a rip? (fuckin' right)
Reiterating the theme of going for a rip and confirming the enthusiasm.
Just out for a rip are ya bud? (oh fuck yeah) Just out for a rip? (fuckin' right)
Just out for a rip are ya bud? (oh fuck yeah) Just out for a rip? (fuckin' right)
-Just out for a rip are ya bud? (oh fuck yeah) Just out for a rip? (fuckin' right)
