Clear Cut was written to raise awareness about the struggle of the Wet'suwet'en people to resist the construction of the Coastal GasLink pipeline across their unceded territory, as well as the Canadian government's hypocritical support of industry over people via the use of militarized raids.

lyrics

Lyrics:
Great Rights and Freedoms, safeguarded for all
Except Indigenous protectors of living land, or ''capital''

Eyes on Wet'suwet'en
Armed goon squads with chainsaws
Hush those convictions, bud
'cause this here's Canada

We built this company for mining and oil
With a national narrative to appease us

Peacekeeping tree huggers
The ''too woke'' Left
Shut them down and drive them out
Clear cut until there's nothing left

Fascists among us, sharing our flags
Perpetuating toxic folklore
Invoke identity to rile up the base
Support for industry via... hate

All for the interests of oligarchs
All in the name of ''core values''
All in spite of our doom

Some would say we excel at apology
While denying our genocide history

Old patriarchs run us, sharing our flags
Perpetuating toxic dogma
Invoke economy to rile up the base
To ignore the looming...

Crisis, a few years left until it all falls
Until then, sanctify Whiteness and protect oil jobs
Unwanted colony, our home on Native land
''True patriot love'' comes from those who dare to take a stand
