In the time when I was born
All the cars were big machines
'Cause it didn't cost a lot
For a tank of gasoline

So we drove across the land
Far and fast - it was routine
But the times have seen a change
In the price of gasoline

Can't believe what I pay for gasoline
Pay for gasoline, pay for gasoline
Prices jump like they're on a trampoline
On a trampoline, on a trampoline

Now I hate to drive my truck
Every block I go costs a buck
Need a loan to fill my tank

Can't believe what I pay for gasoline
Pay for gasoline, pay for gasoline
Prices scaring me more than halloween
More than halloween, more than halloween

[Full speed ahead, Mr. Hazelwood, full speed ahead!
Have another drink, sir!
Action station! Action station!
Aye, aye, sir, spill!
Penguins! Penguins!]

And the oil companies (the companies)
Grab our pocketbooks (grab our pocketbooks) and start to squeeze (and start to squeeze)
Need to raid (need to raid) a cash machine (a cash machine)
Just to pay for (just to pay for) gasoline (gasoline, oh crap!)

Can't believe what I pay for gasoline
Pay for gasoline, pay for gasoline
Fossil fuel coming from the pliocene
From the pliocene, from the pliocene
Can't believe what I pay for gasoline
Pay for gasoline, pay for gasoline
"Fritz the Cat" wasn't nearly this obscene
Nearly this obscene, nearly this obscene
