PGE, oh first they killed people down there in Hinkley,
But that wasn’t enough. PGE, then PGE
Had some bad gas lines that were seamy.
PUC[1] (PUC) was in the pocket of this utility (utility)
And was told what to do by sleazy (by the sleazy)
Aholes who ran the (aholes who ran the) utility.

In the air, the stench of mercaptan;[2]
People smelled it—then a week went by.
Then the ’tards took an hour to cap ’em;
The fireball caused eight people to die.

[explosion interlude]

Was seamy, had bad seams the
Line that expanded (line that expanded) and went blazy.
What a scummy crew (what a scummy crew)
Runs this utility: chromed homes, a fireball too (chrome and fire too),
But you can’t fight it, ’cause PUC (the PUC)
Is givin’ hand-jobs to PGE.

F-U-C- (F-U-C-) K-E-D U-P is this utility (F-utility),
Combine of galling thugs, who’re creepy (PGE)
And gettin’ can-jobs from PUC.
