Banned on the books, they’re still drilling in Denton New York and California we forget to mention Earthquakes, fresh water’s gone Skip through your town, then we’re moving on We’re the oil and gas association Oil and gas association And we gotta take a hard line on this Gotta take a hard line on this Gotta take a hard line on this 'cause there’s money to be made Hey, Don Quixote, what you trying to prove? You’re taking a stand, we’re making you move And Brookview, Ohio Hey, there’s millions more Our drills and our trucks coming to your door We’re the oil and gas association Oil and gas association Deep pockets they rule the nation Oil and gas association And we gotta take a hard line on this Gotta take a hard line on this Gotta take a hard line on this 'cause there’s money to be made You know it’s true There's money to be made We want it all! We’re the oil and gas association Oil and gas association Go ahead and write a letter to your administration Oil and gas association We gotta take a hard line on this Gotta take a hard line on this Gotta take a hard line on this 'cause there’s money to be made Gotta take a hard line on this Gotta take a hard line on this 'cause there’s money to be made You know it’s true There's money to be made We want it all! There's money to be made We’re gonna take it! Money to be made Thank you!

We’re gonna patent things that have been here for a million years By messing with the genes to keep our profits clean We’re the coalition of safe and affordable food George Orwell comes by when he’s in the mood To help us with our lobbying tasks We only feel safe when the truth is wearing a mask We’re the coalition The coalition The coalition of safe and affordable food If you want your things the way nature intended We’re gonna cause confusion, marketplace illusion We’re the coalition of safe and affordable food George Orwell comes by when he’s in the mood To help us with our lobbying tasks We only feel safe when the truth is wearing a mask We’re the coalition The coalition The coalition of safe and affordable food Who’s on your team, hey? Who's on your team, hey? Who’s on your team -- not us! We’re gonna patent things that have been here for a million years By messing with the genes to keep our profits clean We’re the coalition of safe and affordable food George Orwell comes by when he’s in the mood We’re the coalition The coalition The coalition of safe and affordable food

1000 Plastic Bottles 03:54
lyrics
buy track
I want a new house, and I’m scared of Ebola I’ve got a green parrot, and I’m a rock 'n' roller The oil’s dried up, the Earth’s temperature’s heating I’m scared of Ebola -- it bears repeating And I don’t know which way the world is headed But right now it don’t look too good If there’s an eye of the needle, we better start threading There’s a thousand plastic bottles in my neighborhood I’ll take my water from a cup! There’s a thousand plastic bottles on the gutters and lawns Even the trash is no good because they’ll never be gone They’ll make their way out to sea to join the gyrosphere Millions of pounds for millions of years And I don’t know which way the world is headed But right now it don’t look too good If there’s an eye of the needle, we better start threading There’s a thousand plastic bottles in my neighborhood I’ll take my water from a cup! And the president, he’s a corporation And my congresswoman, she’s a corporation The intent of the framers when they formed the nation To have General Motors on the administration And I don’t know which way the world is headed But right now it don’t look too good If there’s an eye of the needle, we better start threading There’s a thousand plastic bottles in my neighborhood I’ll take my water from a cup! It was the hottest summer that I ever can remember 105 on the 5th of December And the little kids stand in front of their classes Should they wave bye-bye as opportunity passes? And I don’t know which way the world is headed But right now it don’t look too good If there’s an eye of the needle, we better start threading There’s a thousand plastic bottles in my neighborhood I’ll take my water from a cup!

Hey, when the morning comes, and the evening, too And when spring arrives frozen the winter’s dew I’ll still feel the same, same way I do each day This love I have for you is never ever gonna change I’m gonna love you every day I’m gonna love you every day and every single night I don’t have no better words for this here second verse But it is not a curse because I’m not feeling hurt I don’t have no better way to say what I just said So I’ll say it anyway -- I’m never ever gonna change I’m gonna love you every day I’m gonna love you every day and every single night I’ve been going through some times And I would like to say I wanna make you all mine Looking further every day (yeah) I’m gonna love you every day I’m gonna love you every day and every single night

Government Boy 03:24
lyrics
buy track
I don’t want you off my back I just want you on my side You say you’re here to help Everybody knows that you lie Hey, government government boy Hey, government boy We’re here in an election season The longest emergency You’re still denying logic and reason Stonewalling by the rising sea Hey, government government boy Hey, government boy [George W. Bush:] There's no in-between -- you're either with us or you're with the enemy. [Ronald Reagan:] I've always felt that the nine most terrifying words in the English language are, "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help." Here lies Ozymandias Sign says king of kings Looks like the ruins of Atlantis His suitors, they bought him his rings Hey, government government boy Hey, government boy Hey, government boy, boy, boy!

I Got Hope 03:35
lyrics
buy track
I’ve got hope It’s like a rope Or a pope That helps me cope Don’t you ever leave me -- we’re still at chapter one Of a good book, believe me, and we’ll have so much fun I’ve got hope It’s like a rope Or some dope That helps me cope Because your love here is good for my soul You open up the universe instead of plugging a hole I’ve got hope I’ve got faith In this place We create In outer space We’ve landed on the moon like bearded pioneers Headed west, treacherous, then the big blue sea appears I’ve got hope Don’t you ever leave me, we’re still at chapter one Of a good book, believe me, and we’ll have so much fun I’ve got hope I've got a chariot, it's gonna carry me It's gonna carry me down the line A million other sweet songs for others This time I hope, this time I hope... I got faith In this place We create in outer space I got hope

Furniture (alt. mix) 04:05
lyrics
buy track
Moving trucks are coming soon They’ll be done before Sunday noon Picking up your stuff and my stuff, too Take and old place and make it brand new Your furniture will merge with mine.... We’re gonna put our furniture together We’re gonna turn this house into a home And then we won’t be all alone Gonna turn this house into a home Your vintage iron birdcage and chair My red credenza by the stairs Your sofa’s so emotional, cobalt blue The picture that I gave as a gift to you Your furniture will merge with mine.... We’re gonna put our furniture together We’re gonna turn this house into a home And then we won’t be all alone Gonna turn this house into a home Gonna turn this house into a home Your furniture will merge with mine.... Like strings make a twine And twine makes a rope Rope helps you climb This day’s filled with hope! We’re gonna put our furniture together We’re gonna turn this house into a home And then we won’t be all alone Gonna turn this house into a home Gonna turn this house into a home Gonna turn this house into a home

Tall Walls Long Beach, California
