I had this job, it kind of sucked
Life in Alberta, it’s pretty rough
If you’re not with them
You’re out of luck
So hit the oilfield - and buy a truck

Our incomes are wasted
On doctor’s gone crazy
It’s kind of hard to get good head, out west

Chase that money, forget you’re stuck
There’s so much more here
Than getting fucked
Go get some cocaine to fix that rust
Suck your own dick, don’t be a slut

Our tax dollars wasted
On credit card payments
It’s pretty hard to keep good head,
Out west

Temptations massage, let’s give ‘em a call
Order some takeout of sleazy bar
New City Suburbs, they had to move
Their bouncer’s haircut
Their reputation bruised

Cash dollars hazy
This Edmonton oil plagues me
‘Cause it’s not hard to get bad head
Out west

Lust for distraction
Throw it away
Then find a new light
To lead your way

Come ride the oil wave on ETS
Don’t bother paying, cause you know
The answer’s yes
We sure are pro-active
With our bulletproof glasses
Drop off the purpose
pickup the drive and cut the line

Bus drivers dialing
Up dopers for siding
To drown the tap, an ill felt rap
On mental wrists
(It’s the Alberta Advantage)

Some jobs are like toilet paper
You keep them long enough
To wipe your rear
It pretty hard, to wipe your ass, out west

Let’s go to West Ed
To suicide
Rent us a handgun
To gentrify

We’ll hit the bullet on the hammer’s back
To close the gap between
The rich and the sack
We sure are proactive with
Oil covered caskets

Don’t grow a mohawk
Stop cutting it off
