This was written after the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010. It is about a little seashell suffering from the oil. Checkout the video on youtube.
lyrics
I'm a little sea shell
From Mexico bay
I used to jump and catch a little squid for my wife and kids
A little squid, a little fish, a little squid
for breakfast
I traveled the ocean
Sticking to a ship
With my friends
B-shell and D-shell
I also know a sea snail
Her mother named her Michelle
Michelle
I got raised by a tuna
And a little whale
I get along with my brothers and sisters
George, Lisa, precious seastars
But now
But now
The oil in my soil
I cannot see
I cannot breathe
This is not a home anymore
I'm a little sea shell
My friends wake me up in the morning
Breakfast
Oil
Lunch
Oil
Dinner
Oil
Party
Oil
Brunch
Oil
Meeting
Oil
Business
Oil
But now
But now
The oil in my soil
I cannot see
I cannot breathe
This is not a home anymore
