Oil

How did we get to this lord?

How did we get to this?

How did we get to this lord?

How did we get to this?

How did we get to this lord?

How did we get to this?

How did we get to this lord?

How did we get to this?

(We want your oil)

(We want your oil)

The villages are mined the contract's been signed

we'll tell you one more time

(We want your oil)

Supply no longer guranteed we demand security

Running out of Texas tea

(We want your oil)

Children of the CIA we want somewhere new to play

Better get right out the way

(We want your oil)

Civilisation birth nerve centre of the earth

Welcome to our new turf

(We want your oil)

How did we get to this lord?

How did we get to this?

How did we get to this lord?

How did we get to this?

Smart bomb with more brains than the President

Blipping and bleeping as they target residents

Of market squares and hospital wards King rat is safe in the wings of the hawk

While King rat is safe in the wings of the hawk

Watch me now

Beat seeking missile gonna blast yer mind out

Bomb for peace I'm gonna burn your eyes out

I'm covering my ears don't wanna receive it

I'm trembling in fear say me can't belive it

Inspector defector arms dealer revealer

Document leaker over here Mr.Speaker

A spin refugee like Mohammed Ali

Me say no Iraqi ever called me Paki

How did we get to this lord?

How did we get to this?

A secret never to be told always to be sold

Digging out the Black gold

(We want your oil)

Petro junkies must be fed Going Barefoot in the head

It's S.U.V's with warheads (We want your oil)

Tearing up formalities there is no neutrality

Welcome to reality (We want your oil)

Ignore treates line by line Litte countries fall behind

The lunatics will lead the blind (We want your oil)

The lunatics will the blind

How did we get to this load?

How did we get to this?

How did we get to this load?

How did we get to this?
