The Price Of Oil

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 endgame
The allies want to prove the plan
But the oilmen 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 then 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 USA
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
