A powerful (and emotionally graphic) video of the BP oil catastrophe set to the music of Clint Mansell performing Lux Aeterna (Requiem for a Dream)

2. And I did it, (Words for the music)

yes I did it,

I did just as they asked me

And I did it

I called for --

Some Clean energy -like Coal

And some clean energy -like Nukes

And I said we could Do It!
Drill and then drill and we could do it offshore

And I never thought to look at what may

Go down if

One too many exemptions came through

Cuz I promised

If they gave me the

highest office in this land

that I'd do it

I would make good

For all the executives who are sitting in their chairs

And I didn't

no I didn't think

For one minute

About the water or the waves hitting the shore

or the birds

or a turtle laying eggs

Cuz I wanted to be president and that involves

Some substantial

yes some substantial

Compromise

So I did it

yes i did it

I called on my nation

To support my

CleaN COAL

and TO SUPPORT cLEAN nukes

aND TO REALIZE THAT WE NEED TO

dO IT

WE NEED TO DRILL AND DRILL AND DRILL

And then BP didn't do some calcualtions

that they should have

No they couldn't bother doing the calculations

SO THAT OIL RIG - IT BLEW UP!

YES MY PRESIDENCY BLEW UP

BUT I DONT'T WORRY
SINCE I DON"T NEED YOU

cUZ THE ELECTIONS ARE ELECTRONIC

aND AS LONG AS I DO IT

YES i'LL DO IT

FOR THE GUYS AT British Petroleum AND AT MASSEY COAL AND AT

Your NSTAR POWER STATION,it is powered now by NUKES.

I DON'T NEED VOTERS,

OR PELICANS

OR The turtle laying eggs.

Cuz it's all Corporate,

Just so corporate,

And as long as my Masters are Happy

I'll still be Prez.
