We use it, we need it, almost as much as air
Dependent on the Middle East and no-one seems to care
That billions of barrels of oil are in the ground
And the freak environmentalists won’t let us get it out
So before you go and point your finger
Covered in gasoline
And whine about their record profits remember
Things aren’t what they seem
Try and educate yourself with the facts
Or just admit you’re spoiled
If you don’t like it, don’t buy it
It’s not the fault of big oil
We want it, they sell it, what’s not to understand?
It’s simple as the law of supply and demand
They’re making just pennies per gallon at the pump
While the government gets double and the roads still suck
So before you go and point your finger
Covered in gasoline
And whine about their record profits remember
Things aren’t what they seem
Try and educate yourself with the facts
Or just admit you’re spoiled
If you don’t like it, don’t buy it
It’s not the fault of big oil
If you want to keep the price down
But want to keep the oil in the ground
You can’t have it both ways
That’s economics 101, class dismissed, go have fun
But before you go and point your finger
Covered in gasoline
And whine about their record profits remember
Things aren’t what they seem
Try and educate yourself with the facts
Or just admit you’re spoiled
If you don’t like it, don’t buy it
It’s not the fault of big oil
If you don’t like it, don’t buy it
It’s not the fault of big oil
It’s not the fault of big oil
Thing’s aren’t what they seem
