IT AIN'T MY FAULT!!! - Gulf Aid All Stars
A very cool song to give voice to the little people and wildlife of the Gulf hanging on in limbo with their livelihoods and hope. It gets right to the point about BP/Transocean/Halliburton's negligence, irresponsibility, and complete disrespect for the region. Meanwhile, BP just won't stop that damn gushin' oil...it's been one month!!!! Please visit GulfAid.org to help. Also, please contact your senators, representatives, and the President to let them know how furious you are about this disaster and oil industry "regulations". Thank you.
"It Ain't My Fault" lyrics are written by Mos Def and Ben Jaffe. Song performed by the Gulf Aid All Stars - Trombone Shorty, Lenny Kravitz, Mos Def, Tim Robbins and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. The PHJB musicians that participated on the track are Joe Lastie-drums, Freddie Lonzo-trombone(seated in the PH video), Charlie Gabriel-clarinet, Clint Maedgen-tenor sax, and Ben Jaffe-tuba. (Thanks to Ron Rona of Preservation Hall for his help with the PHJB musician names)

IT AIN'T MY FAULT
Mama no don't ya say

oil and water don't mix
petroleum don't go (go) with no fish
Awwwwwwww, IT AIN'T MY FAULT
BP....big pimpin
Big pile of BAD presses
boiling point
billionaire point pressure
Awwwwwwww, IT AIN'T MY FAULT
Say Man:
Who pushed the marshes back?
It's where the hurricane shelter
and the gardens at
Awwwwwwww, IT AIN'T MY FAULT
Sing...
from the government's coast
to the broke levee wall
somptin goin on
and it's somebody fault...I said
Awwwwwwww, IT AIN'T MY FAULT
said they go to the rock
to hide they face
said the rock cried out
"No Hiding Place!"
said they go to the rock
to hide they face
said the rock cried out
"No Hiding Place!"
said they go to the rock
to hide they face
said the rock cried out
"No Hiding Place!"
Oh no, oh no
