Oil...Oh, Lawd
Verse I:
There's a place
in your mouth
where the sinners
are dancing in the aisles.
Oh, listen to'em shout
dental drill offshore.
Clutch a bible
in their teeth.
Petrol is spilling
out both sides of their neck.
Fowl n fish pose on the net
in black crisco coats.
Chorus I:
Oil...Oh, Lawd
How much can we buy?
Oil…Oh, Lawd
Bombs strike match to sky.
Oil…Oh, Lawd
Cost is civilian life
and we still ain't sure
what we fighting for.
Still can't see
what we fighting for.
Verse II:
Pumps are empty
ashy palms are greased
stroke til midnight and we shall come to see.
Terror video say cheese
shot in our own homes.
Always a'lyin' (alignin' or allying)
for a war.
Inventory of what we have in store.
Chorus II and Bridge:
You can't breathe.
You can't eat.
You can't drink what we're fighting for.
Alternative energy
(would we kill for it?).
If Mother’s milk was crude
(would we still suckle tit?)
Chorus III and Outtro:
Oil...Oh, Lawd
I can't deny, yeah.
Must we raise the price?
Oil…Oh, Lawd
And we still ain’t sure what we're fighting for.
Bomb strikes match to sky.
Oil…Oh, Lawd
How much can we buy?
(You can't breathe what we're fighting for)
Oil…Oh, Lawd
(You can't eat what we're fighting for)
Oil..Oh, Lawd
(You can't drink what we're fighting for)
Alternative energy (would we kill for it?)
Must we raise the price?
Oil…Oh, Lawd.
And we still ain’t sure what we’re fighting for..
