While We Fan The Flame Some people think new drilling Up In ANWR and offshore Is the only, best, solution So, we can produce some more. Doesn’t anyone have suspicions About those White House oilmen Who let the price run rampant Doesn’t anyone blame them? You can bet they will happy Laughing their way to the bank I wonder, after they leave office Just where, their wealth, will rank? Oh sure, it’s not all their fault For, we’ve all been to blame For too long, we’ve been content To burn and fan the oil flame. We need to use the alternatives Which, we already know about Then there would be a bunch of oil That we could do without! When I was just a young man In the fields, of New Mexico We would drill a good oil well Then, we would cap it and go. Those are wells drilled in the Fifties That have not produced one drop And senseless hoarding of our oil Most certainly, has to stop. Oil worth less than five bucks a barrel At the time when it was found And it’s the height of stupidity To just leave it there, underground. But, as oilman T Boone Pickens says “We can’t drill our way out!” anyway And the longer we wait to change The more, we will have to pay. He’s trying to build an army Of folks, who really want a change To energy from Sun and wind And that’s not so hard to arrange. There’s coal and natural gas for cars And nuclear, but that takes time But, we could leave a better world For those kids of yours and mine. All it takes is some initiative And saying no, to more pollution It’s time all of us all joined in To this American Revolution. If not, over the next ten years We’ll spend ten trillion over there And foreigners love our money But, besides that, they don’t care. So lets all make the commitment And tell our leaders what we think For if we don’t, and stand idly by We just might fall, o’er the brink.
