War For Oil

guitars (fuzz, crunch, and 'storted), drums, bass, keys, tambourine, voice

One more billionaire tightens my belt
The cause endures because my pain is felt
The sly tyranny they call must-see TV
Might soon be a gun to my head

The CIA okays another shock
Find a thug on every bombed-out block
China's all red 'til they get into bed
Keeping time with a dollar sign clock

Recall when we used to keep the peace
That was only to protect a lease
If Uncle Sam wants you to be a man
It's just to make profits increase

Get more
Move it offshore
What's the price of gold?
Make bail
Devour the tail
War for oil to fight the next war for oil
   to fight the next war for oil to fight the next
      war for oil to fight the next war for oil to fight
         the next war for oil to fight the next war
            for oil to fight the next war for oil to fight the next war

While the well-connected thieves
Run a circus that never leaves

Corporations kill and profit
With cops and judges in their pocket
Quick or slow, their work is lethal
But this world belongs to people
We've got to take it back
We've got to take it back
We've got to take it back
We've got to take it back
So shareholders can fuck themselves
If profit's all that's dancing in their heads
