Asian Dub Foundation - Oil lyrics

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