Hour 06: Bring the Oil In Songtext
von GLEET

A helicopter glides
Above the face of the North Sea
Shuttling workers from Aberdeen
Headed for a future rig
Skeleton of steel and concrete

Bring the oil in, bring the oil in
Like mosquitoes
We suck the earth′s skin
Falling dominoes
We're stuck till we begin

Six thousand K away
Cannons fire every ten seconds
To shoo birds from the tailing ponds
The toxic tar sands legacy
A fatal place for life to be


Bring the oil in, bring the oil in
Like mosquitoes
We suck the earth′s skin
Falling dominoes
We're stuck till we begin

In the Niger Delta
Oil spills are a daily event
Destroying the environment
Murdering the land and sea
Mass death an externality

Bring the oil in, bring the oil in
Like mosquitoes
We suck the earth's skin
Falling dominoes
We′re stuck till we begin

Off in North Dakota
Shale oil man camp rape factories
Native women bearing the brunt
Oil driven patriarchy
Coats the gears of misogyny


Bring the oil in, bring the oil in
Like mosquitoes
We suck the earth′s skin
Falling dominoes
We're stuck till we begin
