You burn the truth at midnight; The flames light up the sky.
You stand around and warm your hands, and watch our freedoms die.
You start your wars for Mammon; For capital and greed;
Start your wars for land and oil, and watch our children bleed...
CHORUS
No blood for oil! No oil for your 'freedom',
Your freedom is worthless; When you pay with our lives.
No blood for oil! No oil for your 'freedom',
Your freedom is worthless; When you pay with our lives.
You shackle us with terror; You blind us all with fear.
And all the while you tear away, at all that we hold dear.
Turn neighbour against neighbour; Breed hate beneath the sun.
Smash our doors; start your wars, with a bible and a gun...
CHORUS
BRIDGE
And all around the world, the calls for peace crash in like waves,
But you ignore our very cries, and send us to our graves....
CODA: I said, No blood for oil!
You stand around and warm your hands, and watch our freedoms die.
You start your wars for Mammon; For capital and greed;
Start your wars for land and oil, and watch our children bleed...
CHORUS
No blood for oil! No oil for your 'freedom',
Your freedom is worthless; When you pay with our lives.
No blood for oil! No oil for your 'freedom',
Your freedom is worthless; When you pay with our lives.
You shackle us with terror; You blind us all with fear.
And all the while you tear away, at all that we hold dear.
Turn neighbour against neighbour; Breed hate beneath the sun.
Smash our doors; start your wars, with a bible and a gun...
CHORUS
BRIDGE
And all around the world, the calls for peace crash in like waves,
But you ignore our very cries, and send us to our graves....
CODA: I said, No blood for oil!
