price of oil
BECAUSE YOU WANT OIL
Oh my America look what you've done.
You are paying somebody to kill your son.
I'm a combat vet of that Vietnam war.
I scream no more dying for lies any more.

Because you want oil you are willing to pay.
Just who's son was it who died today.
Were you related did you know them at all.
Did you ever think of it as you entered the mall.

The numbers they use are scattered so wide.
Makes it much easier for the cost them to hide.
What should it cost for them to destroy,
That fine young man your bouncing little boy.
