Small People Got Nobody (The BP Song)
by Rick London C2010 to the tune of
Randy Newman's “Short People”
For My Wife Lee Hiller-London
We got oily hands & birds that can't fly,
All from BP's (Big People) press release of lies,
Some beaches still clean but its a nightmare underneath
Who knows the disease lurking at 5000 feet.
{Refrain}
Well, BP (Big People) loves their small people,
Creates escrows for small people,
Just when we thought BP had no more bull,
They say the coast is clear.
On Facebook all BP has no feedback, just replies,
They won't tell us Louisiana oyster beds are dry,
We from the Gulf know they care not if we live or die,
It's not our parent's world.
We're small people just worker bees,
Help us God above.
There's a few crab legs left but taste like petrol,
By the end of this no tellin' how much BP 'll owe,
Be sure to lawyer up and don't fall asleep
Hayward wants his life back, what a nasty little creep.
They try to bar us from our beaches; have they lost
their minds?
I think all the execs outta be servin' Parchman
Prison time.
