about

This song outlines a money-motivated mentality in the industry sector of our home province of Alberta, where many people drop out of school to go work on oil rigs despite the tumultuous nature of working in an industry where commodity prices fluctuate, and the world often has a bleak view of how things are done, environmentally speaking.

lyrics

Drop out of school at the age of 16
And point your rig rocket down 63
And get overpaid to push drill bits into the dirt’a
That’s what they do in the heart of Alberta

Snort it up your nose, don’t save a dime
It don’t matter if you’re getting overtime
You’ll never have to do a piss test if you never get hurt’a
That’s what they do in the heart of Alberta

Whatcha gonna do when the price goes down
When the bottom falls out, when they ghost this town
Whatcha gonna do when the well is dry
Besides thinking up brand new ways to get high
Ways; brother, you wish you’d never heard’a
We got it all right here in the heart of Alberta

Get pulled over with expired plates
And a half a pound of dope on the passenger seat
Cop is staring you down like he picked you up for murdah
He’ll take you straight downtown and make you sing like a bird’a
You’ll reduce your time to something quite absurd’a
Like 6 months on the couch in the heart of Alberta
