| Parody Written by: | Garrett |
This is about the California power crisis in the early 2000's. In the lower half “Dave” is former Governor Gary Davids.
All the power's gone.
And Enron's to blame.
I can't get no heat.
Once the winter came.
I'd be safe and warm.
If markets didn't deregulate.
California Bleeding
Because Enron had their way.
Just wanted some kilowatts.
But I couldn't pay.
I got down on my knees.
And I began to pray.
But the trader makes a lot.
Because it's 1000 bucks a watt.
California Bleeding
Because Enron got their way.
Song interruption
Now all the powers down.
Because we can't pay.
Now it's been awhile.
Let's recall Dave.
Now I really can pay.
Price capes were the way.
California is Not Bleeding
Power's on the way
California is Not Bleeding
Now that Enron's out of the way.
California is Not Bleeding
I'm warm on winter days.
And Enron's to blame.
I can't get no heat.
Once the winter came.
I'd be safe and warm.
If markets didn't deregulate.
California Bleeding
Because Enron had their way.
Just wanted some kilowatts.
But I couldn't pay.
I got down on my knees.
And I began to pray.
But the trader makes a lot.
Because it's 1000 bucks a watt.
California Bleeding
Because Enron got their way.
Song interruption
Now all the powers down.
Because we can't pay.
Now it's been awhile.
Let's recall Dave.
Now I really can pay.
Price capes were the way.
California is Not Bleeding
Power's on the way
California is Not Bleeding
Now that Enron's out of the way.
California is Not Bleeding
I'm warm on winter days.

A little dated for news, but written well. And Enron sure did get out of the way.
Good write about an old crisis...
