"Oily Wings"

parody of Mister Mister's "Broken Wings" to promote cleaner energy than fossil fuel

Baby, i don't understand
why we have to keep letting oil pollute our land
This spill might be the worst, I fear
Attest to this, the whole world must hear
We need this so

Take these oily wings
Turn to a higher plan, learn to make clean energy
When we hear better choices win
The book of progress will open up and let us in
Take these oily wings...

Baby, maybe not tonight
but i think we can take what is wrong and make it right
This Earth, it's all we know
It gives us the air & food that makes us grow
We need it so

Important message and beautifully made video. Can you post the words to the song? I had trouble hearing the words to the song.

If anyone doubts that Big Oil and the Religious Right are connected at the hip, worshiping the Almighty Dollar, you HAVE to see the article at Huffington Post: "Resisting the Green Dragon" Religious Right Attacks Environmentalism as "Deadly" and "Destructive" in New DVD Series.

@ProChoiceGrandma Glad you find it meaningful. Words now posted, as you requested.

Seeing the annotations for the last section of this video makes me think that with the World Cup happening right now, it would be a perfect time to have a famous Brazilian soccer player appear in an ad saying "It's time to kick out fossil fuel worldwide." Sure wish the world would get with the program already.

it takes: 1. integrity (of character), 2. dedication (to uphold your beliefs) , and 3. devotion (to our Mother Earth) to produce such a video, that conveys this clear message. You have all 3. Very well put-together into a cohesive and heart-wrenching 5 minutes. Not to be forgotten in a hurry, leaves an indelibly lasting impression. TY for taking the Time to make this urgent and vital message, for those of us who have trouble remembering...

This a Cover Version of "Broken Wings" by "Mister Mister" - They had another Song in 1986 (The Chernobyl Year!) called "Kyrie Eleison". If I see these Things Happening, I recall to my father who said "may the mercy of god with you" (aka Kyrie Eleison), as his very last Warning my means "because he is then the only one, who can help you". Hope the German Christian Democratic Party will learn, not to go that far but start the 4th Revolution for Energy Autonomy and Renewable Energy.
