lyrics

I Didn’t Drill That Deep
Lyrics and music by Alexa Weber Morales © 2010 (BMI)

The phone crackled as he yelled
You never should’ve said that
Don’t you think before you speak?
I thought I would take you to deeper horizons
Yet you question my authority

Respect the chain of command, I’m in control
Further requests will be ignored
Did you think you could ask me anything?
It is not for you to know the plan
Just do as you are told

Why this fury unleashed?
I didn’t drill that deep
There’s a hole in the ocean
I didn’t drill that deep

Why this fury unleashed?
I didn’t drill that deep
There’s a hole in the ocean
And it’s gushing faster than I can speak

You’re not getting younger, he said, gunning his car
Resources are running down
You’re not an easy sell, there’s baggage
Soon the night will own this town
Without me you won’t go far

His rig is rocking on a tumbling sea
His mercenaries tell us what to think
I wish he could taste what’s in the drink
Spilling out, smothering the soul
Something inky and bleak

Why this fury unleashed?
I didn’t drill that deep
There’s a hole in the ocean
I didn’t drill that deep

Why this fury unleashed?
I didn’t drill that deep
There’s a hole in the ocean
Gushing faster than I can speak


Cast off the velvet mask
I’m not afraid
Catch the daylight’s last glimmer
I’m not afraid
Gather up the feathers
I’m not afraid
Fires burn on the water
I’m not afraid
We can do better
I’m not afraid
Na na na na na
I’m not afraid
Even if I fail a million ways
I’m not afraid
A billion, trillion ways
I’m not afraid
Shut down your corroded ambition
I’m not afraid
We are the meak
We no longer need your protection
