Diggin' in the Deep Blue Sea - David Bromberg, Keb' Mo'

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 (Incomprehensible)

'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
