Addressed to George Bush when it was written, but it could be for the current bunch as well. Mr Obama, Cameron etc
lyrics
It’s About The Oil, George
It’s about the oil george, It’s about the oil
It's about the oil george
It’s about the oil
It’s a sad bad thing
It’s a mad coincidence
It’s a mad bad thing
And now you’re claiming self defence
It’s about the oil, man, and you’re an oil man
Thank God for the Taliban
Such a great excuse
Now your cannons are loose
It’s a major undertaking to get something like the truth
From the mouths of politicians I've been told
It’s a sign of dedication to the rifle and the car
And the oil that makes the good times roll
Georgie is the man who will send us into war
And Tony, John and Maggie all agree
But I haven’t found a single soul who thinks this war is rock n roll
Or it’s righteous, or it’s just or is it free
It’s a sad bad thing
It’s a mad coincidence
It’s a mad bad thing
And now you’re claiming self defence
It’s about the oil, man, and you’re an oil man
Thank God for the Taliban
Such a great excuse
Now you’ve got your jiuce
It’s about the oil george, It’s about the oil
da de da de da george
It’s about the oil
Please protect us from these mad men, bring us love and peace
Make them listen to what the whole World is saying
We don’t want your bloody war, we don’t want your bloody war
And if I have to spend my whole time praying
I'll pray for you
