Doug Burgum’s Theme Song

Tune: Marine Corps Hymn
Songwriter: Marcy Matasick
Gaggle: New Mexico
Key: G
Written: June 8, 2025
Environment & Energy Government & Politics

From the pristine Arctic wilderness
to the Gulf of Mexico
We will mine and drill, extract and frack
’ til no life on earth can grow

We will help the big oil billionaires
reap more profits every day
Though the costs outweigh the benefits,
make the little people pay

We will cut the regulations
that restrict BP and Shell
And the loggers, frackers, miners, all:
we will pave their way as well

So the Native People lose their land
and their lives if they protest
Native rights and human rights be damned
at the industry’s behest

Why let common people have the chance
to enjoy these public lands?
Let our wealthy buddies buy them up
so they’re all in private hands

Who needs hiking trails or fishing streams
scenic drives or deep dark skies?
We will fence these places, lock the gates,
post a sign saying “Privatized”
