Oddisee - American Greed lyrics

[Verse 1:] When George Bush took the oil from the soil I was in front of the counter buying some milk from the Arabs In the land of honey I order fries from Chinese surviving off of what's in the foil Gallon of gas, 2% is the same price So it seems to the villain goes the spoil It's cheap fuel, fried rice to my brother man Cheap fuel, pipelines from the motherland It's all the same, right?
