Bryan Adams Releases 'Lake Ontario' Song Addressing Trump Actions

Bryan Adams released a song titled "Lake Ontario" on Oct. 30 that addresses President Donald Trump's executive order renaming the lake, his military campaign in Iran, and the president's ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The song will appear on the upcoming album "How's It Going."

The lyrics take aim at the renaming. Adams sings: "It's a First Nations name, not an executive order.." The track also refers to the conflict in Iran, saying: "But things weren't going his way in Iran, So like a baby tossing the toys from the pram.."

Adams' lyrics also touch on the Epstein files, with the lines: "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.." Trump is not named directly in the track.

A statement on Adams' website described the song as "a wry retort to those who seek to re-name it." Adams was quoted in the statement saying: "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."

The musician has addressed Trump in his music before. In July, Adams released "51st State," which responded to Trump's discussion of incorporating Canada into the United States.
