Lyrics
Guzzling Gasoline (E. Beaumont)
Never knew a life without electric light
Didn’t live through a time of “Brother,…Spare a Dime?”
I slept through the Pleistocene Era
Car frames came as a constant flame
Flickered only in tornadoes and emergencies
I’ve never really had to live with urgency
The first foot on the pedal seldom touches earth
Millionth customer at Citgo knows what life is worth
This bucket is his birthright, blares the bully in the pulpit
Gimme the pump, gimme premium, lemme gulp it
I’m guzzling gasoline, more popular than protein
It’ll take you through your teens – guzzling gasoline
I’m guzzling gasoline and I don’t dress in green
I’m a lean, mean killing machine guzzling gasoline
We’ve burnt a hole in the sky – fly and drive: why do I?
Clear-cutting miles and miles each day – give up lifestyle? Why no way?
They’re dying in the desert and the driving’s less than pleasant
Take the bus to the clubs or break out the dubs
The army’s surrounded by hostile haters ready to repel all invaders
Petrol price drops nine centavos, life goes on en la Estados
Take one day to buy nothing, take another with no juice,
another walking – hardly roughing – three days less with no excuse for
guzzling gasoline….
