Lyrics

Rio Grande Blood

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

And now a message from the President of the United States George

W. Bush

I've adopted sophisticated terrorist tactics

And I'm a dangerous, dangerous man

With dangerous, dangerous weapons

I want to drain the coal resources in America

And foreign sources of crude oil.

I'm a weapon of mass destruction

And I'm a brutal dictator

And I'm evil

I've got something that I must confess

I make a profit off people oppressed

I take the money 'til there's nothing left

And all I gotta say is Yippie Aye Yay

Rio Grande Blood

I want money

I want yer money

I want crude oil

It's the government's money

I'm an asshole

I can't remember the world such a mess

Not for the companies I like the best

Exxon and Conoco - fuck all the rest

And all I gotta say is Yippie Aye Yay

Rio Grande Blood

I want money

I want yer money

I want crude oil

It's the government's money

Breakdown

We went to war because of our dependence on foreign oil

Haliburton

We went to war because of money

Haliburton

We will settle for nothing less than victory, victory

Haliburton

We will settle for nothing less than crude oil -crude oil

Squeezing the middle class whom I detest

Taxing the poor so the rich can invest

I know I'm an asshole, but aren't you impressed

And all I gotta say is Yippie Aye Yay

Refrão:

Rio Grande Blood

Rio Grande Blood

Rio Grande Blood

I want crude oil

Rio Grande Blood

I want money

Rio Grande Blood
