Your oil is my opium
This truth one can't deny
But if you try an expose this
I'll point and shout "You lie!"
I'll rape you country
To fuel my need
I'll line my pockets
To ease my greed
And as you sit there
All contrite
My pals in the news
Will tell the world I'm right
I'm addicted to its power
The world looks on "nonplumb"
I'll do as I please when I want to
You oil's my opium
Not a finger lifted to stop me
As I plunder black gold from the ground
Drones overhead as my guardians
To stop you snooping around
The death toll, slowly it rises
As the war machine keeps rumbling on
I make too much money to count it
Your oil's my opium
Morals, what are they, I have none
Big business has no time for that
Quaffing caviar, foie gras, and lobster
Turns one into a real life, real rich, fat cat
Hiding behind words like democratic
Leaving rivers of blood in my wake
Pulling the wool over everyone's eyes
It's easy, a real piece of cake
Some sit at their desks and berate me
Call me names as if they will hurt
They don't see the world as I do
I see dollars where you just see dirt
Nothing you do can stop it
I own all the powers that be
The papers, police, politicians
They all have to answer to me
Money brings power, brings immunity
Bigger the crime, I give out bigger sums
I'll not spend a second behind bars
Your oil's my opium
Cries of pain should tug at my heart strings
Starving children walking the street
Homes destroyed to make room for my drill heads
Bastards just get under my feet
I stand at the top of my tower
Master of all I survey
Laws, rules, and what's right
All things I just sweep away
My idea of ownership?
If I see it, I take it, it's mine
My kids are learning to be just like me
In my world they'll get on just fine
You cannot deny me what I want
I'll convince you with cash or a gun
My monkey is black, and worth billions
Your oil's my opium
