Going Dutch With Big Oil
(Discriminatory or un-American? So what?)

Who thinks that Big Oil won't drill without tax breaks?
Are they going to risk being cut back to a size
That we would all be so much happier with –
We'd find that too big to fail no longer applies.

God forbid we should have to bail out big oil
Just to help the Republican Party's finances
Survive without Koch Boys and ConocoPhilips –
But with Ryan still there, who likes their chances?

Should we have discriminated against Exxon?
Landrieu's insisting that they know the drill.
And why be un-American to ConocoPhilips –?
They want to go Dutch?– Let them drill till they spill.

Meanwhile, perhaps, we should share in past profits,
Like a few of the royalties due us now and then?
Let's remind them whose waters they propose drilling in.
Ante up, Big Boys, while Clint counts to ten.

When is the last time you were run out of a country
And replaced by some mavericks you guys had trained?
Do any mid eastern potentates come to mind?
Or this nation's Taliban for whom Kochs campaigned?
