Voices on the radio |
|
Tell us that we're going to war |
|
Those brave men and women in uniform |
|
They want to know what they're fighting for |
|
The generals want to hear the end game |
|
The allies won't approve the plan |
|
But the oil men in the White House |
|
They just don't give a damn |
|
'Cause it's all about the price of oil |
|
It's all about the price of oil |
|
Don't give me no shit |
|
About blood, sweat, tears and toil |
|
It's all about the price of oil |
|
Now I ain't no fan of Saddam Hussein |
|
Oh, please don't get me wrong |
|
If it's freeing the Iraqi people you're after |
|
Then why have we waited so long |
|
Why didn't we sort this out? |
|
Last time was he less evil than he is now |
|
The stock market holds the answer |
|
To why him, why here, why now |
|
'Cause it's all about the price of oil |
|
It's all about the price of oil |
|
Don't give me no shit |
|
About blood, sweat, tears and toil |
|
It's all about the price of oil |
|
Saddam killed his own people |
|
Just like General Pinochet |
|
And once upon a time both these evil men |
|
Were supported by the U.S.A. |
|
And whisper it, even Bin Laden |
|
Once drank from America's cup |
|
Just like that election down in Florida |
|
This shit doesn't all add up |
|
'Cause it's all about the price of oil |
|
It's all about the price of oil |
|
Don't give me no shit |
|
About blood, sweat, tears and toil |
|
It's all about the price of oil |
