“Repent, Repent! You Fossil Fuel Sinner
Repent, Repent! You fossil fuel slave
So park your car, spread the word, carry the news, near and far
Repent, Repent! Fossil Fuel Sinner”

I was roaring down the Interstate in my petro-holic Chevrolet
smilin’ at the progress made in our jungle of consumption
Piously, I blew on past a Prius car, sippin’ gas
cussin’ and a fussin’ at his go slow speed

Twas in my apparition, my engine lost ignition
I coasted to the shoulder of the tangled interchange
Before my Higher Power could become a cell phone tower
a gospel bus picked me up, singing this refrain

“Repent, Repent! You Fossil Fuel Sinner
Repent, Repent! You fossil fuel slave
So park your car, spread the word, carry the news, near and far
Repent, Repent! You Fossil Fuel Sinner”

(Instrumental, Piano/New Orleans Sax)

We parked beside the stadium that glowed like holy radium
Thousands were assembled by the power of the Lord
When the minister appeared and kicked hell fire into gear
To the isle of salvation I walked upon the shore

Multitudes were healed, tongue talkers revealed
It seemed the deal was sealed for Eden’s refugees
As I dug deep in my pocket, a starburst from the rockets
Shed light upon a long parade of urban SUVs

“Repent, Repent! You Fossil Fuel Sinner
Repent, Repent! You Fossil Fuel Slave
So park your car, spread the word, carry the news, near and far
Repent, Repent! You Fossil Fuel Sinner”

“Repent, Repent! You Fossil Fuel Sinner
Repent, Repent! You Fossil Fuel Slave
So park your car, spread the word, carry the news, near and far
Repent, Repent! You Fossil Fuel Sinner (fossil fuel)”
