about
A song written back in 2010 during the Deep Water Horizon Oil Spill. What can I say? Some things never change. Oil and gas are still king. More and more people and countless species suffer under the greed of autocratic men. And even the queen of "drill baby drill" seems to want to make a comeback. Time to wake up and face the fire.
Glimmers of hope, from the hands of a few
Blindly held back from the news camera’s view
As the pipe belches out its dark ancient carbon
A black seam of doubt, quaffs politics and pardon
Just a small puncture wound, that’s too deep to bandage
And remote controlled machines, too slow to manage
Counting the barrels as three months pass by
Everybody wants a bigger slice of the pie
Drill baby drill, so that’s your solution
Frack baby frack, better face the pollution
Words on a page, or talk on the air
Lies mixed with rage, unbalanced and unfair
The truth is unaware, so spin up another show
Or show me that you care, and say it isn’t so
Say it isn’t so, the truth’s gonna’ hurt
Say it isn’t so, I’ll take you at your word
Say it isn’t so, I can’t bear to know
So give me what I need, and say it isn’t so
News from the front, Wall Street wants its oil
There’s tar on the beach and methane in the soil
Smoke fills the air, spirits cast their spell
Voodoo repairs, the ocean is unwell
Mississippi blues like never before
Blowouts and dispersants curse this oil whore
They cover up the truth in slick world-wide pages
Programmed to confuse, while the oil geyser rages
Drill baby drill, so that’s your solution
Frack baby frack, better face the pollution
Words on a page, or talk on the air
Lies mixed with rage, unbalanced and unfair
The truth is unaware, so spin up another show
Or show me that you care, and say it isn’t so
Say it isn’t so, the truth’s gonna’ hurt
Say it isn’t so, I’ll take you at your word
Say it isn’t so, I can’t bear to know
So give me what I'm needing, and say it isn’t so
