Well, if memory (the lyrics) serve me right, the song is basically about a town of Oil workers who are left jobless and lifeless after the oil company abandons the town once the oil runs dry. So, I get the connection.
I'm of two minds on the whole thing:
I'm excited because going through this work seems to guarantee DC will get an airing or 2 at Giants, and maybe even become some sort of regular. On the other hand, if the song is changed too much and/or the new lyrics suck, is it worth it?
