The Lyrics
BP, BP,
They fleece us and are maintenance-free.
BP, BP,
They waited till oil spilled, last year, March 3,
Pooled in a permafrost lake,
Though warned by their own guys
That prevention would had been simple.
Execs were told many times before
About problems, but they ignored
The warnings. . .money-changers in the temple.
BP, BP,
Abates the flow; again, maintenance-free.
BP, BP,
They blow oil, then smoke through mendacity.
In swag they wallow.
How can we swallow
Their words so hollow?
Their words are hollow,
The pipes now hollow.
Are their heads hollow?
They fleece us and are maintenance-free.
BP, BP,
They waited till oil spilled, last year, March 3,
Pooled in a permafrost lake,
Though warned by their own guys
That prevention would had been simple.
Execs were told many times before
About problems, but they ignored
The warnings. . .money-changers in the temple.
BP, BP,
Abates the flow; again, maintenance-free.
BP, BP,
They blow oil, then smoke through mendacity.
In swag they wallow.
How can we swallow
Their words so hollow?
Their words are hollow,
The pipes now hollow.
Are their heads hollow?

What are those Brits doing on our soil anyway? I thought we kicked them out in 1776? I say we bayonet them and take the pipeline.... ;-D

Bold Point you made, Mr Barry. Bloody Perfect ! I see Merry is off on her crusade again! I made the mistake of telling her Aus had it's own oil once (though with the price of petrol here, you would think we didn't). I think the red white and blue is now paying closer attention to us !
