saskatoon - That Lovely Crude Lyrics

OIL, THAT LOVELY CRUDE
Whose the man behind the man
behind the gun?
what’s behind the Iraqi deal
Halliburton anyone!
Wake up America
you are being royally screwed
left, front and center
right out of your blue suede shoes
alternative fuel, don’t be a fool
just look at all that oil
waiting for us to lap it up
where it’s under Iraqi soil
one hundred and twelve
billion barrels of crude
that makes for a princely sum
enough for us top guns to share
including number one
but you’ll never get really filthy rich
Just being a CEO
so don’t be a silly son of a bitch
lets strike a mighty blow
lets hit Saddam that evil man
and make us a lot of dough
For our millions are merely a bagatelle
when you consider Iraqi oil
that humongous amount
that’ll blow your mind
that’s under Iraqi soil
we’ll get rid of Saddam
and take over the Biz
then each of us can build
a palatial palace with faucets of gold
that’s so much bigger than his
it’s bound to happen there’ll be boys killed
that’s what happens in a war
but face the facts, that can’t be helped
that’s what the troops are for.
