The Price of Oil

The Price of Oil

The news people tell us the reason why,
In little sound bites, they think will fly.
The price of oil just went up, not because of a lack of supply.
The price went up to gouge us, that’s why.

Many of us know it’s a load of crap;
Given to the media, by those that like to flap their trap.
The commodity markets are rigged by those,
Who want to buy expensive clothes.

When the price goes up, many jump for joy,
They love the money they’ll get, Boy, Oh, Boy.
Greed is good they say to each other,
Screw everyone, even your brother.

They never lose; they pass it on to us,
And add a little more, “What’s the fuss?”
They don’t care if we can’t afford to eat.
As long as they have thousand dollar shoes, on their feet.

You may believe the crap dished out on the “Tube”.
If you listen to the talking heads, then you’re the “Boob”.
They try to fill our heads with their spin,
So that we’re the ones that lose, and they’re the ones to win.

There is an answer to their ploy.
It’s not the Oil Companies we must destroy.
We need to get together, decide and realize,
Now is the time to Nationalize!
