Full Lyrics:
Carbon Capture for the Rapture
September 8, 2023
Hello we’re Oxy,
or to you Occidental Oil
For a hundred years we’ve been taking
oil from the soil
We’ve got the most advanced
Now check this terminology
underground capture and storage
technology – no apology
Carbon capture for the rapture
You remember us
Hallelujah
We’ve crushed tribes that resist
Like the U’wa, now do ya?
Sure we’re wreaking havoc in Peru
and pretty much everywhere
Small price to pay
To put our dirty underwear down under there
Carbon capture for the rapture
You know us, you trust us
And will forever
So of course we should lead
this endeavor, ain’t it clever
We’ll grab and store carbon
from the atmosphere we’re filling
We’ll save the day,
make a killing and keep drilling
Carbon capture for the rapture
Sure, companies like us
And our pocket politicians I guess
have caused a good portion
of this mess, I must confess
But we’ve found a way
To pull black gold from the air
Make oil and profit big
It ain’t fair, but we don’t care
Carbon capture for the rapture
We’ll even replenish oil reserves
down with the dinosaurs
Time for new underground
Carbon stores, and foreign wars
You’re hooked to our rigs
You know you’ve loved us
Let’s keep drilling
And trust us, and just us
Carbon capture for the rapture
Oh you “keep-it-in-the-soil”
Folks for you I do pray
Keep trying to protest
Get in our way, or have a say
We’ll pull out the stops – check it-
for this one even Jesus is impressed
Make you the bad guys
Criminalize protest, done, suppressed
Carbon capture for the rapture
And our friends big greens
Yep the ones who get our grants
Will help us with our image
Wash our hands with green plans
By now you know you can’t beat us
By looting or suing
So join us and ignore the
carbon spewing we’re still doing
Carbon capture for the rapture
