About the song
We have an energy addiction; recent crusades in the name of countering terrorism have a price. About $3.39/gallon.
Lyrics
I like to drive in the country, cruising in my clean machine
But I ain’t been cruisin’ lately, ‘cause I just can’t pay the price of gasoline
I never owned a caddie, I never rode in no limousine
But now I’m not drivin’ my Honda, ‘cause I just can’t pay the price of gasoline
Up in Alaska, that crew got plastered and caused a spill
That oil gushed out, and there ain’t no doubt, who paid the bill
The president’s trying to tell us ‘bout some Iraqis, so vicious and mean
But I find it hard to believe him, since blood became the price of gasoline
We’ve known for a good many years now our reserves have been getting lean
But if they’re not charging for sun light, why do we pay the price of gasoline?
That spill was polar, but when there’s solar, who’ll mind the till?
The sun keeps pumping, without gunking, so get your fill.
It’s not just the words with 4 letters that turn out to be obscene
Try Exxon, Atlantic and Mobil when you pay the price of gasoline
It’s not just the words with 4 letters that turn out to be obscene
Try Exxon, Atlantic and Mobil when you pay the price of gasoline
When you pay the price of gasoline
But I ain’t been cruisin’ lately, ‘cause I just can’t pay the price of gasoline
I never owned a caddie, I never rode in no limousine
But now I’m not drivin’ my Honda, ‘cause I just can’t pay the price of gasoline
Up in Alaska, that crew got plastered and caused a spill
That oil gushed out, and there ain’t no doubt, who paid the bill
The president’s trying to tell us ‘bout some Iraqis, so vicious and mean
But I find it hard to believe him, since blood became the price of gasoline
We’ve known for a good many years now our reserves have been getting lean
But if they’re not charging for sun light, why do we pay the price of gasoline?
That spill was polar, but when there’s solar, who’ll mind the till?
The sun keeps pumping, without gunking, so get your fill.
It’s not just the words with 4 letters that turn out to be obscene
Try Exxon, Atlantic and Mobil when you pay the price of gasoline
It’s not just the words with 4 letters that turn out to be obscene
Try Exxon, Atlantic and Mobil when you pay the price of gasoline
When you pay the price of gasoline
