I originally wrote this in 2008 and just updated it for Project 2025.

Lyrics

DRILL, BABY, DRILL for Project 2025
Mike Delaney, originally 9/9/08

Them good ole boys have all joined his ranks
For being brash they will give him thanks
Taking their cue from a man who's over the hill (“Orange Jesus!”)
They hear a good line and they take it to heart
Shouting it out, they think, is doing their part
Their rally cry is...Drill, baby, drill

Drill, baby, drill (Drill, baby, drill)
Drill, baby, drill (Drill, baby, drill)
They’ve closed up their minds
And they drink up his swill
They just want to shout…
Drill, Baby, Drill

They'll get theirs, all others be damned
The louder the stronger, it's the law of their land
No matter what, they’ll bend a knee to his will
A few drops of oil that’ll soon run out
The planet isn’t something they care about
Their best shot is...Drill, baby, drill

Chorus

Them polar bears; they can learn how to float
And the rising oceans will make us a moat
But we'll have barrels and barrels enough to spill
We see the new change is remaining the same
And if it's going ‘round it's probably lame
Our death knell is...Drill, baby, drill

Chorus
