We had just received the so-called $600 "stimulus package" check sent out by the government when I realized that the price of gas was creeping upwards faster than it had ever been before... hmmm, I thought... very clever... "give" back a tax-rebate and then have it go back into the pockets of George Bush's buddies... Exxon-Mobil, Chevron, Unocal, BP, anyone who did business with a pump. It only took two months to drain that $600 back into the accounts of Big Oil, so I thought a timely dart to the center of the bulls-eye was due. Here's the dart... now, about that Prius SUV that might come out soon?

I was warned, when I bought my SUV,
that the cost would so bankrupt me
but it's all right, I'm working just as fast as I can...
sometimes all night, to keep
pumpin' back cash into gas, gas, gas.

Sticker shock, and the price keeps rising
talkin' heads say it's enterprising
but it's all right, I'm selling everything that I can
to hold on tight, to keep
pumpin' back cash into gas, gas, gas.

(Instrumental break)

I was drowned, couldn't pay for food or rent...
so I ate beans, and slept inside my tent.
Politicians, said "Here's six hundred to spend."
But it's all gone now, back to Big Oil instead... yeah, yeah, yeah

But it's all right, someone carjacked me and ran.
Keep it all night so I'm not
pumpin' back cash into gas, gas, gas.

Pumpin' back cash, into gas, gas, gas...

(keep repeating chorus as conversation begins)

(answering imaginary cellphone)

Hello? (aside to audience) Oh, it's my insurance company...

(Pumpin' back cash, into gas, gas, gas)

You say you found my car?

(Pumpin' back cash, into gas, gas, gas)

In pieces?

(Pumpin' back cash, into gas, gas, gas)

Oh my, that's TOO bad... (winking)

(Pumpin' back cash, into gas, gas, gas)

Uhm... you say you found another one just like it?

(Pumpin' back cash, into gas, gas, gas)

Could you just write me a settlement check instead?

(Pumpin' back cash, into gas, gas, gas)

I think I'm gonna buy a Prius next time.

(Pumpin' back cash, into gas, gas, gas)

(fade out)...
