Lyrics:
Oil is used primarily as a fuel /
There's only fifty years left of it, it's non renewable /
It's the gasoline in our automobiles /
Everything plastic, and all package materials /
Telephones, credit cards, toothpaste /
Shampoo, glasses, aspirin, house paint /
Cameras, tires, film, toys, tape /
Are just some of the many products that oil can make /
The largest consumer is the United States /
Using twenty-five percent of all petroleum made /
Half of that's imported, America needs help /
By Two Thousand and Twelve domestically they'll run out /
Now Iraq has the second largest oil reserve /
Behind Saudi Arabia on the entire earth /
One point One Trillion dollars it's worth /
And there's plenty undiscovered land yet to be searched /
Industrial countries, depend and rely /
On the Middle East to maintain our styles of life /
Just imagine, if they manipulated the price /
So which Countries could grow, was up to them to decide /
These denials that the war's really not about oil /
Are completely unconvincing, it made my blood boil /
When Colon Powell claimed it would be shared nice & equal /
Held in a trusteeship for all the Iraqi people /
C'mon, Who you really think will service these fields /
Chevron Texaco and Exxon Mobil /
The largest energy companies in the nation /
Out to become the world's two richest corporations /
And if you back Bush, you get a part of this /
If you don't co-operate he makes it very hard to live /
Gotta wonder, if Nine Eleven's just an excuse /
To go through with something he already wanted to do /
Man, check his track record, a brutal history /
Why we don't know more about it still remains news to me /
This President never served, when he was called upon /
And pulled strings to avoid combat in Vietnam /
Did you know the first oil drilling business he got /
Lost lots of money and was a financial flop /
Arbusto, became Bush Explorations /
Hoping the family name would help it's reputation /
Two years later it failed as well /
He was bailed out by a College friend from Yale /
When William Dewitt, bought his company out /
Then merged it with Spectrum Seven as an offer of help /
And immediately George Bush became C.E.O /
But by Nineteen eighty-six, the same tale unfolds /
A group of investors, with political motives /
Appeared in the nick of time, to become his co-owners /
Harken Energy, now listen close here /
Paid him well over a Hundred-Thousand dollars a year /
With a lack of experience, and financial debts /
came an unbelievable chance for them to get rich /
'Cause close to Iraq, is the Country Bahrain /
Fearing an invasion by Saddam Hussein /
They bypassed major U.S. oil chains /
And gave Bush's company rights to drill their terrain /
But by Nineteen-Ninety internal advisors /
Warn of the company's potential demises /
Already a Hundred and Fifty Mill' in the hole /
And if Saddam invades Kuwait stock value will fall /
One month later Bush decided to sell /
Two-Thirds of the shares in Harken that he held /
That's a lot, to dump at once on to the market /
But good timing, he made a two-hundred percent profit /
Eight Hundred and Fifty Grand on the deal /
At it's top price on the exchange, what a sale /
'Cause Eight days later Harken Oil reports /
That it's down twenty-five percent and dropping more /
Who's guilty of insider trading here /
When you look at the facts George Bush should appear /
Even though he insists, he never got information /
And was unaware of any kind of dire situation /
No one has ever announced who made the purchase /
An unidentified buyer, it's almost perfect /
He also violated S.E.C. regulations /
To announce your deals to them, by a month after you make them /
But dad was President, controlled the commission /
In charge of investigating his own son's suspicion /
And you wonder why, he was never punished /
The case against him was dropped, now it's over & done with /
