Gusher
performed by Brian Sofer

Been a good two months,
Since 11 grunts
Went out with a bang
And through all this time,
We get the same old line
And the gulf is left to hang

Grade A doublespeak,
Week after week
While the ocean’s turnin’ black
They’ve got another plan,
I’m sure it’s better than
What they tried a few days back

We’ll save a ton of cash,
Pluggin’ it with trash
In the sea’s where it belongs
Operation Top Kill,
Drill fuckin’ baby drill
What could possibly go wrong?

Everything is gonna be exactly like it was
I don’t understand why you’re making such a fuss
It’s just a little gusher,
Runnin’ sixty days and nights
Tony’s gonna fix it up, he’s gonna
Make this right

Blame it on the greens,
So says the beauty queen
Yeah, we said ‘go 5 miles down’
Or fault the MMA,
Who failed to regulate
They’ll let anyone in town

Oozin’ up the coast,
Eastern seaboard’s toast
Disaster courtesy of man
Drag ‘em to the Hill,
Right before the bill
With carbon-copied safety plans

And when they break the rules,
On their ship of fools
They’ll just get hammered in the press
But I’d like to see em pay,
80 million bucks a day
And out there cleanin’ up their mess

Everything is gonna be exactly like it was
I don’t understand why you’re making such a fuss
It’s just a little gusher,
Runnin’ sixty days and nights
Tony’s gonna fix it up, he’s gonna
Make this right

The lazy pelicans,
And all their swimmin’ friends
Should’ve moved away
But they missed their chance,
Like the residents
So home is where they’ll stay

Now if you still believe,
In crude-covered dreams
Just listen to their flacks
Tony’s apologized,
So if you don’t mind
He’d like to have the good life back

As the tar rolls in,
The beach is cryin’
Fallin’ on deaf ears
Stop the drillin’ on our shores,
We can’t take it anymore
They’ll still be doin’ it for years

Everything is gonna be exactly like it was
I don’t understand why you’re making such a fuss
It’s just a little gusher,
Runnin’ sixty days and nights
Tony’s gonna fix it up, he’s gonna
Make this right

But we still got hope,
One last rope-a-dope
We’ll have to take it all in faith
So go and drill your double well,
Tony, hope you go to hell
Before your next yacht race

Everything is gonna be exactly like it was
I don’t understand why you’re making such a fuss
It’s just a little gusher,
Runnin’ sixty days and nights
Tony’s gonna fix it up, he’s gonna
Make this right

Everything is gonna be exactly like it was
I don’t understand why you’re making such a fuss
It’s just a little gusher,
Runnin’ sixty days and nights
Tony’s gonna fix it up, he’s gonna
Make this right
