I Need to Drive

"We need to offshore drill for oil and natural gas and we need to drill here and we need to drill now"
So what if there's only two years of petroleum?
Come on, let's overturn the offshore drilling moratorium
My Chevy truck is a thirsty bee
Buzzing around the hive
So drill it
I don't care if you spill it
I need to drive "And NOT fifty-five!"

"Say Mo!"
"What's that Joe?"
"What's the difference between a hummer and a pickup truck?"
"Hmmmmmmmm."

Now take a lesson from the tale of the Exxon Valdez
A ship captain can run aground
There's hardly any penalties
So tow those platforms off the shore
And let those drillers thrive
I don't need pristine beaches
I need to drive

"Say Joe!"
"Yeah, Mo?"
"If a train leaves Chicago travelling 50 miles an hour..."
"Whoah Mo! I ain't taking NO train! And no carpools neither!"

Four dollars a gallon is just bad for my health
Speculators are draining off my wealth
"That's highway robbery!"
It's cutting into my gamblin' pretty hard
"There goes poker night"
I'm thinkin' about sinkin' a well in my own backyard
"The Beverly Hillbillies!"

Now science is in disagreement
Over climate change "They are?"
Carbon credits, who needs them?
When you're home on the range
I don't need clean oceans
For that's not what I strive
I don't need to save the planet
I need to drive

"Get off the road, lady!"
