( BP oil spill song lyrics:
British Petroleum CEO Tony Hayward )
BP WANTS THEIR LIFE BACK
Copyright © 2010 - MickTerry.com

On   YouTube,  performed  LIVE  by  MICK TERRY

Just a drop in the bucket,
but a big drop none-the-less,
when an oil rig burst and it wasn't the first,
but this one had made the biggest mess.

Just a spill in the ocean,
Haliburton was the source
of defective parts that were at- the heart
of destruction of the earth's resources.

    BP WANTS THEIR LIFE BACK.
    BP WANTS a little break.
    BP's had their fill of this nasty spill
    and it's slimed their precious corp'rate name.
    BP WANTS THEIR LIFE BACK.
    Thought it all would wash away in time.
    They have had enough of this messy stuff
    and they'd like to leave it all behind.

Just some sludge in the water,
won't the earth just spring right back?
Aren't our corporate greed and financial needs
so much bigger than this small attack?

    CHORUS

       "Can't we get back to just making money?
        Can't we get back to a simpler time
        when we weren't held accountable
        for the nature of our crimes?
        Can't we get back to the bottom line?"
        Big Polluters, Big Profits, Bastard Profiteers,
        Big Polluters, Big Profits, Big Profits.

Just the life on the planet,
aren't we giving it all we can?
We've got oysters & fishes, clams & shrimp fried dishes,
all just ready for the frying pan.
(spoken)   Now with no extra oil needed.

    CHORUS
