Bryan Adams releases anti-Trump protest song

Bryan Adams has released a new song 'Lake Ontario', in protest of US president Donald Trump. He previously released the protest track, '51st State', back in July.

The single will be included in the Canadian singer's upcoming album How's It Goin', which will drop on November 6.

'Lake Ontario' never mentions the president by name. However, the music video for the song features Adams standing on a rock next to Lake Ontario, which Trump renamed Lake America as part of an executive order amid ongoing tariff disputes and a trade war with Canada.

The singer implies that the name change by the president was a way for him to distract the public from his shortcomings in office.

"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 are 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 lyrics read.

Adams commented on the song in a statement on his website.

"Empires and regimes, dictators and kings, they all come and go. 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."

His previous protest song '51st State' was released on July 1, which coincided with Canada Day. The single responded to Trump's remarks about Canada becoming part of the United States.

Beginning his career in the 1980s, Bryan Adams has garnered international acclaim with hits including 'Summer Of '69', 'Run To You', 'Heaven' and '(Everything I Do) I Do It For You'. He has also won 20 Juno Awards and a GRAMMY, and was inducted into both the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame.
