Fossil-fuelled heart for a grey dinosaur
Slick as petroleum, that’s what you are
All that you stand for, it makes my blood boil
How can’t you see blood is thicker than oil?
Is it just malice, or are you that dense?
Sipped from the chalice of incompetence?
Did you drink deep of the corporate swill?
Did they shell out, is that why you’re a shill?
There’ll come a time when the cash flow runs dry
Dry are the wells – who, then, tells you to lie?
Who will you gaslight, and who will you trick?
When we expose you, you’d better think quick
Not just the emperor stands in the nude
All will discover your blood’s black as crude
You should remember this when it’s our turn:
Oil is an easy material to burn.
