The Caribou and the Oil Pipeline lyrics

You're in your car You're running out of gas You pull in to get the gas 3000 miles north of here 100,000 caribou are heading for the sea Bears and ravens follow This is where the US wants to build an oil pipeline It will disrupt the caribou migration You see it on TV -- there's nothing you can do You can't change the world so you change the channel but in your mind, one fact stands alone: A 6 month supply of oil versus 20,000 years of migration In a dream you see the caribou crossing an icy river, exhaling steam they dream themselves up and over steep and barren hills I didn't think I could write a hit about the caribou and the oil pipeline, but I had to try You're in your car You're running out of gas You pull in to get the gas What if? What if?
