Got Gas?

adaptation by Laurie Rostholder of song by Glen Anderson The Marine Hymn From Iraq and Venezuela The Arabian and Caspian Seas, We will pump out all the planet’s oil Just to fuel our SUVs. We can get ten miles per gallon As we guzzle gasoline. Since we’ll always need a lot more oil, We’ll just call out the Marines. We will pave the way for Texaco, For Standard, ARCO, too, And Exxon, Shell and AMOCO— But the cost is paid by you. And some foreigners will lose their land And their lives when we invade, But WE’LL get gas for our guzzling cars And enemies that we’ve made. From Honduras for United Fruit, To anywhere for our banks, We will conquer anyplace, anytime, Until we run out of tanks. So we cultivate our image As we dominate the skies— Not to protect rights and values, But big business enterprise!
