OIL, THAT LOVELY CRUDE

Whose the man behind the man

behind the gun?

what’s behind the Iraqi deal

Halliburton anyone!

Wake up America

you are being royally screwed

left, front and center

right out of your blue suede shoes

alternative fuel, don’t be a fool

just look at all that oil

waiting for us to lap it up

where it’s under Iraqi soil

one hundred and twelve

billion barrels of crude

that makes for a princely sum

enough for us top guns to share

including number one

but you’ll never get really filthy rich

Just being a CEO

so don’t be a silly son of a bitch

lets strike a mighty blow

lets hit Saddam that evil man

and make us a lot of dough

For our millions are merely a bagatelle

when you consider Iraqi oil

that humongous amount

that’ll blow your mind

that’s under Iraqi soil

we’ll get rid of Saddam

and take over the Biz

then each of us can build

a palatial palace with faucets of gold

that’s so much bigger than his

it’s bound to happen there’ll be boys killed

that’s what happens in a war

but face the facts, that can’t be helped

that’s what the troops are for.
