Addicted To Oil

(My apologies to the late Robert Palmer)

“Addicted To Oil”
by W

Your enginer’s on, back on the road
You’re at the bank, you need a loan
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
The heating bill is all it takes

You can’t drive, stuck in the grass
That SUV burns too much gas
Your budget’s tight, you can’t breathe
A smaller car is what you need

Whoa, you like to think that you’re conservin’ the stuff, oh yeah
It’s closer to the truth to say you can’t burn enough
You know you’re gonna have to face it, you’re addicted to oil

You saw the signs, but paid no heed
The price of oil made you concede
Those OPEC thieves took your last dime
That ANWR land is looking fine, a one track mind

You can’t be saved
A hybrid car is all you crave
If there’s some gas for you
You don’t mind if you do

Whoa, you like to think that you’re conservin’ the stuff, oh yeah
It’s closer to the truth to say you can’t burn enough
You know you’re gonna have to face it, you’re addicted to oil
