Original Folk Song about the BP Oil Spill
Dayne Sherman
April 20, 2014
Today is the 4th anniversary of the BP oil spill. I wrote "Drill, Baby,
Drill" a few days after the disaster in 2010. Four years later, I've recorded it. Audio and lyrics below.
"Drill, Baby, Drill"
By Dayne Sherman
Written in Late April 2010
Recorded April 20, 2014
Lyrics
April 20, 2010
Deepwater Horizon
BP’s oil poisoned the Coast
Eleven dead in the water
Drill, baby, drill
Spill, baby, spill
Kill, baby, kill
Pelicans are dying in the Gulf
Louisiana’s sliding in the Gulf
People are crying in the Gulf
Oil's buying groceries
Oil's causing war
Oil's filling barrels
Oil's killing us
Drill, baby, drill
Spill, baby, spill
Kill, baby, kill
Pelicans are dying in the Gulf
Louisiana’s sliding in the Gulf
People are crying in the Gulf
Oil's making money
Oil's driving cars
Oil's reeking havoc
Oil's killing marsh
Drill, baby, drill
Spill, baby, spill
Kill, baby, kill
Pelicans are dying in the Gulf
Louisiana’s sliding in the Gulf
People are crying in the Gulf
