Lyrics
they want to pump & dump, slash & burn
planets alive with a festoring sore
resource import for quick cash return
persist no cure she might settle the score
you dumped on us, now pay the bill
swallow that green-back jagged pill
stockholders appeal now it's mak'n us ill
spirit of the northern wild, you tried to kill
just be aware cop a new attitude
that lump inside your head's linked to the stratosphere
a spot price fixed to the 'bubblin-crude'
it's a motive for a corporate engine's gear
fill 'er up
check the oil
felt your dipstick recoil...OUCH
birds & fish they are dead; open your till
wash your oily hands, profits up come clean
you pumped on us & left a greasy spill
big oil's legal-ese, it's a dirty machine
