“Drill, Baby, Drill” Each one of us, is to blame For the Gulf oil spill We could end our dependence But, seems like we never will! We keep voting in officials Who are paid of by big oil To keep all of us, using it No matter, what it may spoil. BP is not the only culprit All those companies are the same Making billions off us Playing, their dirty game. Coal companies are no different They ruin our lands, lakes, and streams Pollute our air, let miners die And deny, their dirty schemes. Fossil fuels will be our downfall And, we don’t seem to care As long as we can drive Our cars, from here to there. There are myriads of ways To get our power and our fuel We won’t demand the changes And play, the corporations, fool. As long as we listen to them And, let them buy/control our laws We will always get the short end And will never fix the flaws. They say, they’ll pay the damages Does anyone, think that’s true? In one way or the other It will be paid, by me and you! We must try to find some leaders Who aren’t corrupt, bought and sold We must demand, they do us right (Should we dare, to be, so bold!) “Drill, baby, drill!”, the mantra Mine, and desecrate, the land Kill off wildlife and fisheries How much more, can we stand? We’ll get what’s coming to us As long, as we stand idly by And, we will never change things If, we don’t have the guts, to try!
