DRILL, BABY, DRILL
Mike Delaney 9/9/08

Them good ole boys can't fill up their tanks
The Mideast cartel has their tempers cranked
And driving into town is at best a wasteful frill
They hear a good line and they take it to heart
Shouting it out, they think, is doing their part
Their rally cry is...Drill, baby, drill

Chorus:
Drill, baby, drill
Drill, baby, drill
They say they want change
But they don't have the will
They just want to shout...
Drill, Baby, Drill

We'll get ours, all others be damned
The louder the stronger, it's the law of this land
Taking our cue from a man who's over the hill
A few drops of oil instead of thinking big
Wasting time with lipstick on a pig
Their best shot is...Drill, baby, drill

Chorus

Them polar bears; they can learn how to float
And the rising oceans will make us a moat
But we'll have barrels and barrels enough to spill
We see the new change is remaining the same
And if it's going around it's probably lame
Our death knell is...Drill, baby, drill

Chorus

This song by this amazing singer/songwriter together with our long term environmental destruction and wildlife and human life destroying disaster in the Gulf is so true especially today! There is no excuse for what is happening and this video and song point out so much of what we as non experts knew way back when and it was only a matter of not if but when we were to see the implication of this incredible and poignant song scribed by this insightful artist, Mike Delaney. Thanks Mike!
