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       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       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    it’s all about the price of oil    ‘cause 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
