I caught'ya drillin' on the ocean floor.
I love'ya baby can I have some more?
Oh, the damage done.

Half of Alberta gets turned into moon,
so we can make another 10 tycoons.
Oh, the damage done.

I sing this song because I love the earth.
I wish we had a different sense of "worth."
Dead zones to keep from running out.

I've seen the oil rigs and the damage done.
A little burnin' done by everyone.
But every fossil fuel's a setting sun...
