"We want your Black Gold". A demand and a claim.
How did we get to this, Lord?
How did we get to this?
How did we get to this, Lord?
How did we get to this?
How did we get to this, Lord?
How did we get to this?
How did we get to this, Lord?
How did we get to this?

(We want your oil!)
(We want your oil!)

The villages are mined the contract's been signed
we'll tell you one more time
(We want your oil!)
Supply no longer guaranteed we demand security
Running out of Texas tea
(We want your oil!)

Children of the CIA we want somewhere new to play
Better get right out the way
(We want your oil!)
Civilisation birth nerve centre of the earth
Welcome to our new turf
(We want your oil!)

How did we get to this, lord?
How did we get to this?
How did we get to this, lord?
How did we get to this ?

Smart bomb with more brains than the President
Blipping and bleeping as they target residents
Of market squares and hospital wards
King rat is safe in the wings of the hawk

While King rat is safe in the wings of the hawk

Watch me now
Beat seeking missile gonna blast yer mind out..
Bomb for peace I'm gonna burn your eyes out
I'm covering my ears don't wanna receive it
I'm trembling in fear say me can't believe it
Inspector defector arms dealer revealer
Document leaker over here Mr. Speaker
A spin refugee like Mohammed Ali
..Me say: – No Iraqi ever called me Paki..–

How did we get to this, lord?
How did we get to this?

A secret never to be told
always to be sold
Digging out the Black Gold
(We want your oil!)
Petro junkies must be fed
Going Barefoot in the head
It's S.U.V's with warheads
(We want your oil!)
Tearing up formalities
there is no neutrality
Welcome to reality
(We want your oil!)

Ignore treaties line by line
Little countries fall behind
The lunatics will lead the blind (We want your oil!)
..The lunatics will lead the blind..

How did we get to this load?
How did we get to this?
How did we get to this load?
How did we get to this?
