LYRICS
I got out of bed this morning, Got in my car and turned the key, Then I called outta work and I went back to bed, Because the needle was on "E".
I can't afford my gasoline. The prices have become obscene. They're up 5 cents a day. Who has that kind of green? I can't afford my gasoline.
I've got a friend who bought a hummer, (hum v yeah) One of those gigantic trucks, (he don't give a... darn) But he can't drive since he maxed out his credit cards, (tough for him) Because his mileage really sucks. (six whole miles)
He can't afford his gasoline. The prices have become obscene. Too bad he had to buy that gas guzzling machine. He can't afford his gasoline.
Who are the people making money (stack them chips) While the rest of us are hurtin? (choose gas or food) Big oil companies, their shareholders, and friends (scratch my back) Go ask those guys at Haliburton (I'll scratch yours)
We can't afford our gasoline. The prices have become obscene. Unleaded regular, forget about supreme. We can't afford our gasoline.
We can't afford our gasoline. The prices have become obscene. You'll get screwed at the pump, so bring your vaseline. We can't afford our gasoline.
"That hybrid car doesn't seem so queer after all..."
