Save Our Water and Wildlife
Friggin’ Drillin’ Rigs
The USA’s addicted now to fossil fuel and oil,
So BP’s drillin’ off our shore and makes our blood just boil.
We warned them that the oil could spill and wash up on our soil…
Halliburton and BP – you suck!
CHORUS:
Take your friggin’ drillin’ rigs and move ‘em from our shore!
Take your friggin’ drillin’ rigs and don’t come back no more!
Take your friggin’ drillin’ rigs ‘cause we don’t want your oil!
Halliburton and BP – you suck!
You bypass the inspections and ignore the warning signs;
You bribe your way to drilling rights and profit from your crimes.
Eleven workers now are dead and fish all swim in slime…
Halliburton and BP – you suck!
CHORUS
You suck the oil from the sea and poison all the soil;
You suck the profits from the work while others sweat and toil;
You suck the lifeblood from us while you plunder and destroy…
Halliburton and BP – you suck!
CHORUS
SPILL, BABY, SPILL
(Tune: “Marine Corps Hymn”
Lyrics: Marcy Matasick, Albuquerque Raging Grannies)
From the lovely Gulf of Mexico
To the wild Alaskan seas,
We will trash the earth to drill the oil,
Just to fuel our SUV’s
Gasoline is our addiction
We will never get our fill
We’ll pollute the world environment,
As we chant “Drill, baby, drill!”
Let our clear blue oceans turn to black
Let the shore birds all get killed
For whenever there are accidents
We’ll just chant “Spill, baby, spill!”
We will kill the whales and porpoises
and the fishes in the seas
Oh, give us a beach
Where oil spills can’t reach,
And there’s no sticky goo on the sand,
Where children can play,
And the birds and fish stay
Free from harm… that’s our simple demand.
CHORUS:
Save our seas and our sand!
We’re here and we’re taking a stand.
We say NO to those rigs
And those comp’nies so big!
Mother Earth still comes first in our land.
We Grannies are blue.
Our predictions came true,
And their oil leaked onto our shore.
It’s gooey and black
And we can’t put it back.
So we don’t want them drillin’ no more!
CHORUS
“Drill, baby, drill”
Was a license to kill
For Halliburton, TransOcean, BP.
So boycott BP
And then maybe they’ll see
What we think of their crude oil spill.
CHORUS
But who cares as long as we have gas
Just to drive our SUV’s
