Lyrics: Sea Plants and Animals Die and Sink Man (How Oil is Made)

HOW OIL IS MADE ( Sea Plants and Animals Die and Sink, Man)
(Kristen Baumlier, 2005)

Sea plants and animals die and sink man
They get buried by the sand and silt yeah.
Sea plants and animals die and sink man
They get buried by the sand and silt yeah.
And then the pressure happens…
Heat happens ….
Pressure happens ….
Heat happens ….

The compounds become hydrocarbons
And salt or clay keeps it down yeah.
The pressures there and then heat happens
And then you know we’re making peat yeah.
And then the pressure happens…
Heat happens ….
Pressure happens ….
Peat happens ….
And an oil-saturated rock is formed.
Petra and oleum is formed.

Millions of years to make black gold yeah
Lots of pressure and lots of plants man
You need the time and all the pressure
To form the hydrogen and the carbon.
And then the pressure happens…
Heat happens ….
Pressure happens ….
Peat happens ….
And an oil-saturated rock is formed.
Petra and oleum is formed.
Rock oil is formed.

(Kristen Baumlier 2007)

It’s gotta hurt a little bit
It’s gotta hurt a little bit
It’s gotta hurt a little bit
But I learn to like it.
It’s gotta hurt a little bit
It’s gotta hurt a little bit
It’s gotta hurt a little bit
But I learn to like it.

A little pinch means a lot
Preservation is so hot
Saving a little day and night
Not always taking feels so right

BTUs can light your fire
Carbon count my warm desire
Electricity go real slow
Plastic - where does it go?

Conserve for You
Conserve for Me
Conserve for Them
Conserve over and over and over again

Count it down drop by drop
Turn it down and be on top
Dial it down, yeah it’s so hot
Go way down – it means a lot!
