Oilwell

After 9/11

They had a three point plan

Osama bin Laden, Iraq, and Iran

So they went into Kabul

To get the Taliban

In the Tora Bora

Caves of Afghanistan

Now you can listen to music

Or go to the show

And the Central Asian pipeline

Continues to flow

You can stand in the fields

Where the poppies grow

It simply begs the question

Where did the future go?

Over there in Iraq

There's a big oil well

Everyone's in shock

Overought by the smell

With insurgents going live

And no one can tell

That the end of the beginning

Was when Baghdad fell

Saddam was the Emperor

Of his Republican Guard

They found him in a hole

In someone's backyard

With all of us making war

With total disregard

Trying to make some peace

It shouldn't be so hard

They're getting all

Hett up all around Iran

They don't think it's fair

About this nuclear plan

It should be the same

With London or Tehran

No one should have them

Not any man

Let's take all the money

And all of the waste

And shoot the whole lot

Into outer space

And try to make

A humanitarian case

For dropping some love

On the human race

And please don't think

I don't care 'cause I do

But I have to say the things

We dare not say that are true

And please don't put me on a list

Ring me through

Cause I been honest

And been true to you

Let's drop some luxury

Goods on to their heads

Give them a DVD player instead

Like in the film

When El Cid said

"We wish you no harm

And we bring you bread"

Is this how it's going to be?

When the only platform

Is in the North Sea

Like a reverse domino

It simply begs the question

Where did the future go?

Follow me down

To the depths of Iran

We'll try

To geologically understand

Roll out a barrel

Limit the price

Skake your money maker

And make things nice

So you know

The world's a messed up place

Got to thank some puts

And even band for interface

Unprovoked aggression

Just one stand

That's our future

In a three point plan

Please don't think

I don't care 'cause I do

But I have to say the things

We dare not say that are true

And please don't put me on a list

Rring me through

Cause I been honest

And been true to you

You, I've been true to you

(6x):

We'll try

To make a humanitarian case

For dropping some love

On the human race

We'll try

To make a humanitarian case

For dropping some love

On the human race

We'll try

To make a humanitarian case

For dropping some love

On the human race

We'll try to make

A humanitarian case
