Blood for oil, is not a good deal
Blood for oil, is not a good deal
The hawks are circling up in the sky
Not a one of them will tell you the real reason why
Blood for oil, is not a good deal

We have not yet , begun to fight
We have not yet , begun to fight
Homeland security is bugging your phone
But if you're white they'll probably leave you alone
Blood for oil, is not a good deal

They are transparent, to the learned eye
They are transparent, to the learned eye
Just check their connections, the pictures on their wall
You'll find they all have a little too much gall
Blood for oil, is not a good deal

What is the proof of their tyranny
What is the proof of their tyranny
Tax cuts for the rich, the upper class
Send the poor overseas to whup some ass
Blood for oil, is not a good deal

Blood for oil, is not a good deal
Blood for oil, is not a good deal
The hawks are circling up in the sky
Not a one of them will tell you the real reason why
Blood for oil, is not a good deal

How many times, must the cannonballs fly
How many times, must the cannonballs fly
The Cold War drums are beatin' way too fast
With Cheney and Rumsfield and all these relics from the past
Blood for oil, is not a good deal

You don't have to follow them to be true to your home
You don't have to follow them to be true to your home
Do something for your country, get an education
Knowledge is power, the real strength of a nation
Blood for oil is not a good deal

Our President, never had a real job
Our President, never had a real job
He's been propped up since he shook his first rattle
Now he's all hat, and no cattle
Blood for oil, is not a good deal

How did so much power, fall into their hands
How did so much power, fall into their hands
False politicians and corporate greed
And everyone, everyone needs a thneed
Blood for oil is not a good deal

Blood for oil, is not a good deal
Blood for oil, is not a good deal
The hawks are circling up in the sky
Not a one of them will tell you the real reason why
Blood for oil, is not a good deal
