Screw You, I’m From Texas (1st Posted September 27, 2008)   Leave a comment

 

Screw You, I’m From Texas

They call him Smokey Joe
The big polluters go to man

A notorious Big Oil yell leader
Long before “Drill Baby Drill”

Pockets lined with cash
Joe turns our air to ash

Long a guardian of Big Oil
Giving generous tax breaks

Killing the offshore moratorium
Unwilling to compromise

Now Smokey Joe wants it all
Three miles to 200 miles out

Desiring more for his benefactors
Joe covets the Gulf and the Arctic

Fancying himself as a prophet of capitalism
Leaving no choice, “There Will Be Blood”

All in the name of greed and profit
Screw you, I’m from Texas

(“Smokey Joe,” Congressman Joe Barton, 6th District, Texas)
