BP Oil Spill Protest Anthem From Raging Grannies: "Halliburton & BP, You Suck!"

South Florida Raging Grannies protest BP Gulf Oil Spill mess in this biting and darkly funny music video, "BP's Frigging' Drillin' Rigs". See Palm Beach County's favorite singing activist grannies in action at oceanfront, BP gas station, condo colony! And use lyrics in video description to sing along!

"BP's Friggin' Drillin' Rigs"
(Tune: "Battle Hymn of the Republic")
Lyrics © by Raging Granny Vicki Ryder

"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!

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! So 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! So 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!"

It would be interesting to know if these grannies have ever driven or been driven in an oil powered machine (i.e. a car) because if so, these gannies are just as much to blame as the rest of us oil consuming human beings (Admission: Myself included) ..... Ofcourse, the BIG COMPANIES (i.e BIG OIL ) are to blame as well as the Government(s) and MMM, but Ultimately it is the ignorant public (99.9% of the population) who are responsible.

You go grannies!
