Man
that's messed up
how they had the poor birds
now they don't have anywhere to be
on the earth.
They was covered in oil
on the news
so sad
that the birds had to choose,
life or death
now the oil wins
and the birds have to lose.
When the boat crashed
the oil spilled
it made all the birdies ill.
People came with skills to clean up the beach
now that's the deal.
They used the hair mats to clean the oil
government sued them for a million bucks.
Now they can't surf
and the dude that crashed
can’t sleep thinkin’ about the little
birdies that can't eat.
he was rich now he's poor
suing the boat owner for a million dollars or
more.
