Richard Ochs "We three kings of petroleum say, Wikileaks exposed us today

(to "We 3 Kings" carol and "We will rock them" chant by Queen) by Dick Ochs
We three kings of petroleum say Em B7 Em
Wikileaks exposed us today Em B7 Em
Bomb Iran - that was our plan Em D G
to be done by the USA Em B7 Em

Oh, Oh, D D7
Bribes of wonder, bribes of fright G C G
To send our bombers in the night G C G
Eastward leading, still proceeding Em D C D
Blood for oil - a dreadful sight G C G

Saudi, Qatar and King of Bahrain Em B7 Em
With mud on their faces, looking inane Em B7 Em
Money that talks, oil that hollers Em D G
Our mercenary shame Em B7 Em

(transition to "rock them" chant, accompanied by "stomp,stomp,clap" or percussion equivalent)
Mud on their face! Big disgrace! Em
Wagging the dog all over the place! Em
Wi ... ki ... leaks ... will ... STOP THEM Em C
We will, we will STOP THEM Em C

We two heroes of Wikileaks are Em B7 Em
Bradley Manning and Julian Assange Em B7 Em
We stopped the next war - pain, blood and gore Em D G
following yonder star Em B7 Em

Oh, Oh, D D7
Bribes of wonder, bribes of fright G C G
To send our bombers in the night G C G
Eastward leading, still proceeding Em D C D
Blood for oil - a dreadful sight G C G

Bradley Manning thrown in a hole Em B7 Em
Julian Assange is next to go Em B7 Em
Fighting for us and facing their martyrdom Em D G
Unless we all say "hell no!" Em B7 Em
(chant accompanied by "stomp,stomp,clap" or percussion equivalent)
Hands off Assange! Free Bradley now! Em
Raise lots of hell and we know how! Em
We ... owe ... them ... their ... FREEDOM! Em C
We will, we will FREE THEM! Em C


These three wars for oil and pipelines Em B7 Em
Insanity, torture, drones and war crimes Em B7 Em
Provoking more terror, blind to the error Em D G
Tit ... for tat a long ... time Em B7 Em
(chanting to the end, accompanied by "stomp,stomp,clap" or percussion equivalent)
Lying to our face! Big disgrace! Em
Running their dogs all over the place! Em
Mer-cen-ary contract! Em C
Our dem-oc-racy hijacked! Em C
Oil on their face, big disgrace! Em
Stop occupations, putting lives to waste! Em
We will, we will stop them! Em C
We will, we will stop them! Em C

No war for oil! Squandering our toil! Em
Blown minds and bodies, blood in the soil! Em
We will, we will stop them! Em C
We will, we will stop them! Em C

In 1998, Dick Ochs released MEMOIRS: Forty Years in the Fray, which he self-printed through his Workers Action Press, Inc. One chapter is entitled Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab and it details several of our anti-APL protests

Go Richard -- you're on the right side of the fight, once again!!

Funny. I was asking only yesterday, what happened to the protest songs. then this pops up. Brilliant! I would like now, to see some music producer (with balls) release it onto the charts. or at least the vid go viral.

That's pretty good; I bet Pete Seeger would like it a lot.
