The Oil Song (Bonus Track) [Live]

The captain's now free and his case it is closed
Exxon Valdez wrecked itself, I suppose
What's left of the life in the Prince William Sound
Might not condone what our court of law found
And it's oil, oil, a lot of oil, oil
Creepin' in the sea
It's oil, oil, a lot of oil, oil
Don't buy it at the station, you can get it now for free
Just come on down to the shoreline where the water used to be
Registered in through Liberian doors
Passing the Shetlands near Scotland's cold shores
A single-hulled ship with its engine broke down
Drifted five hours and then ran aground
Right where the wildlife preserve tends to be
Twenty million more gallons got free
Don't worry folks, it's all light crude, they did say
It'll probably break up and be gone right away
It's oil, oil, a lot of oil, oil
Creepin' in the sea
It's oil, oil, a lot of oil, oil
Don't buy it at the station, you can get it now for free
Just come on down to the shoreline where the water used to be
We're pumping out petrol no matter what cost
Now that eleven men's lives have been lost
Price got as high as rig workers get paid
Paying the price for this is you and some hate
Deepwater rig called Horizon went down
No way to seal off its pipe could be found
One-forty million-plus gallons away
Panama City to Galveston Bay
Eighty-five days was the span of that leak
Eighty-five days make for twelve racing weeks
What hit the surface is one thing I guess
What's underneath could take years to assess
But it's oil, oil, a lot of oil, oil
Creepin' in the sea
It's oil, oil, a lot of oil, oil
Don't buy it at the station, you can get it now for free
Just come on down to the shoreline where the water used to be
