Bryan Adams Rails Against Trump’s “Lake America” Order with New Song “Lake Ontario”: Stream

Canadian rocker Bryan Adams has released a new single that decries Donald Trump’s recent executive order to rename “Lake Ontario” as “Lake America.” The song, which is simply titled “Lake Ontario,” appears as a digital bonus track on Adams’ upcoming album, How’s It Goin’, set to arrive November 6th. “Empires and regimes, dictators and kings, they all come and go,” stated the singer-guitarist of the new song. “Lake Ontario is forever. This is a song for all the sane people on both shores who know that the current madness will pass, and that Lake Ontario will always be Lake Ontario.” Get Bryan Adams Tickets Here The song’s lyrics pull no punches, serving as a direct takedown of Trump, with mentions of the Epstein files and the current war with Iran: From glacial erosion – to indigenous care From European exploration – to industrial wear and tear The “lake of shining waters” is what the Iroquois called her It’s a first nations name – not an executive order But things weren’t going his way in Iran So like a baby tossing the toys from the pram He may have thought it best to throw a low blow And create a real dog and pony show But it feels like another distraction While the Epstein files were getting traction One day they’ll come out and we’ll say “there you go” And then we’ll all dive into Lake Ontario After centuries of trade and war People settled down on the banks and shores All rivalries and conflicts – had all but ceased But it just took one dude to break that peace But things weren’t going his way in Iran So like a baby tossing the toys from the pram He may have thought it best to throw a low blow And create a real dog and pony show But it feels like another distraction While the Epstein files were getting traction One day they’ll come out, and we’ll say “there you go” And then we’ll all dive into Lake Ontario The upcoming album How’s It Goin’ is an ode to Canada, with Adams stating of the LP, “The idea was simply to make a record about Canada. It started with writing the song for the documentary Canada’s Wild Eastern Edge, and after doing so much research, I was inspired to start writing more songs about Canada. Musically, it took me somewhere a little different too, which made the whole thing exciting.” Adams kicks off a residency tonight, October 28th, at the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas, with five shows scheduled through this Sunday, November 1st. He then has an extensive run of dates scheduled in Europe and Australia and Europe again from November all the way through August 2027.
