From the recording Who's Going to Clean Up BP
Lyrics
The fish can't swim in the water
The gulls can't land on the sea
There's a cloud hanging over the ocean
As far as the eyes can see
The shrimp can't move and the scallops are black
The crabs and the clams, can't talk back
The turtles are done, and the pelicans have been slaughtered
The seaweed is gone and the grasses look hacked
The lobsters and oysters are flat on their backs
And the dolphins lie dead on the beach
Instrumental
The ships can't sail and the fishermen weep
There's no work, their fear runs deep
The well's not capped, and the oil continues to rise
The black death was cast, and it won't leave
We're under attack, and can't fight back
Big Oil has taken our beach
There's a cloud hanging over the ocean
As far as the eyes can see
in the end we will clean up our shores, but
Who's going to clean up BP?
Who's going to clean up BP?
