On Harvey ... by Kenny

It’s oil over now, baby blue
You must leave the coast, take what you think will last
And look for higher ground, you better find it fast
Yonder seas are dead, and they're a-rising
There’s a tar sands fire on the horizon
Look out now, hurricanes are coming through
and it's oil over now, baby blue
The highway is for truckers, better use your sense
Crude/chemical explosions and pipeline spills, coincidence?
Carbon fumes are fogging up your streets
and fracking’s uncontrollable methane leaks
the sky's the source for solar power too
and it's oil over now, baby blue
All your oil-slick sailors, they are rowing home
your empty-handed armies, are all going drone
The coal market just walked out the door
renewables now promise so much more
the ring of fire is rumbling under you
and it's oil over now, baby blue
Leave your fossil fuels behind, something calls for you
Forget BP and Shell, conserve and follow through
If we don’t want to bring the planet to a boil
we'll have to leave some oil in the soil
walk or ride, share, go start anew
and it's oil over now, baby blue
