To the Last Drop
The insatiable greed of man
is draining the earth,
bleeding it dry
Ain't no climate change
is the reason given why
Corrupt men of science selling out,
giving out bogus data
to support the claims of their business patrons
Rich greedy dogs
who never get enough
They love to drink your milkshake,
they love to drink it all up
Were granted permission to drill in
environmentally protected land
Fracking up the ground,
searching for the mother lode
Gas pipelines snaking across the terrain,
to the slithering cash register sound
All that glitters ain't really gold;
Profits are imperative, curse the cost of the pain
Filthy lucre dogs
who never get enough
They love to drink your milkshake,
they love to drink it all up
They love getting and getting
and getting more ...
greedy dogs that ain't never gonna stop
They gonna drink all the juice in the ecology can,
drink it all up ... down to the last drop
