Greg Brown - Oily Boys Lyrics

I tell you what this war is all about, oil
We invaded for that and we ain't gonna leave
When you go take what you want
Call it freedom and liberty
Well you're walking on the cut bullshit side of me

Well the media is bought off
They ain't gonna tell the truth
They're gonna do as they're told, stay employed
NBC, CBS, ABC and CIA
All of 'em are just workin' for the oily boys

Well the democrats are chicken
They're tryin' to appease
The same oily boys that brought America to its knees
Amongst this pile of lies, the only hope I see
Get the Green Party going, run the prostitutes out of DC

These names will live in infamy
Bush and Cheney, Rove and Rumsfield too
Well, Condaleeza you know she's just another oily boy
And they're wreckin' this world and just are we gonna do

It has to be we the people
One by one, two by two
And then many million strong
To say this land is our land
And what you're doing in our name is just plain wrong

I tell you what this war is all about, oil
We invaded for that and we ain't gonna leave
When you go take what you want
Call it freedom and liberty
Well you're walking on the cut bullshit side of me
