Diggin' in the Deep Blue Sea Songtext

von David Bromberg

They've been drillin' down in Texas
Since eighteen ninety four
If they drill a little deeper
They can always find some more

They got a pipeline from Alaska
To Iraq and Iran
And now we gotta give it
Anyway we can

'Cause this whole world is just a junkyard
All strung out on gasoline
Now they got this boats out on the water
Diggin' in the deep blue sea

They're diggin' a little deeper in the sea
Everybody gets greedy
When they think the well run dry
They've to start a war just to keep up the supply

We got to have to
Make about everything
From pantyhose to footballs
And all things in between

This whole world is just a junkyard
Strung out on yesterday
Now they got boats out on the water
And they're diggin' in the deep blue sea
God, help us

And now the fish can't swim
You know the birds can't fly
We keep ridin' on
'Cause demand is high

What are we gonna do
About all the mess we make?
You can't run a eighteen wheeler truck
On lemonade

This whole world is just a junkyard
All strung out on yesterday
Now they got boats out on the water
Diggin' in the deep blue sea

Check out, they got boats out on the water
And they're diggin' in the deep blue sea
