| Gas
and Plenty of It by Joe Knoepfler |
| Let
us not buy gas Not support the tyrants Let us have cheap gas And plenty of it: Gas for our cars To drive immense distances alone Gas for our mowers To mow our immense green lawns Gas for our jets To fly us from airport to airport to drive from house to house to mow our immense green lawns Let us drive down the price of gas We can make a difference The price will fall, tumble, crash...... Gas will be cheaper than water Cheaper than air Cheaper than life itself... Gas We must preserve gas Our right to gas Our right to cheap gas and plenty of it Gas for our leaders Gas for our followers Gas for those who need to heat their showers Gas for those who need showers In foreign countries With strange names And undemocratic harsh acronymic appellations The coinage of international cabals Unholy alliances of those who seek control Bankers, internationalists, The swarthy of the earth Our natural enemies Who'd hoard their resources from us Driving up the price Putting it to us Enriching themselves and their double breasted US accomplices whose oily profits must satisfy Their stockholders' lust For gas And plenty of it And cheaper than water To fly immense distances To drive their sport utility vehicles ten megathousand pounds of death defying salacious steel and chrome across the arched back of the planet Or fly immense distances To foreign countries Where oil is pumped from the ground our need's enriched Transformed From desert to treasure trove From swamp to valued resource That therefore should belong to us And at cheap prices, Like fifty years ago When air conditioning hummed In Hilton bars alone On embassy rows While the natives escaped the heat By sleeping when they should be working For us In our oil fields Or building their own roads To drive the trucks we'll trade them For gas and plenty of it And at cheap prices Cheaper than water Cheaper than milk Cheaper than air Until we pump it dry And run out of gas Every last drop Converted Burned By us And at cheap prices Our right Unquestionably Ours |
