7.  OIL

The concept of this track is basically a mockery of the U.S.' inatiable appetite for oil , and its willingness to sacrifice its own people for it. They mask it under the "Patriotism" and say that it's your civil duty to die overseas for the crap. The beat is simplistic, almost Vaudevillian, leading into a large rock breakdown, keeping the nursery rhyme-esque tempo.
 
7: OIL
 
(Lead-in begins with clips from Bush's State of The Union Address, leading in to piano chords)
 
 
Verse 1
 
Oh, they welcome you with open lacerations
 
Recruit you when they need a deed complete
 
Yet, regrettably, the enemy ain't human
 
But still they feel the need to pack some heat
 
 
Chorus 1:
 
For the oil,
 
Oil,
 
Bubble, black and boils,
 
The task will never end
 
No matter how hard you may toil
 
For the oil,
 
Oil,
 
OIL...
 
Oh, you're just another pawn in search of oil
 
 
Verse 2:
 
They'll be feeding off your dreams and aspirations
 
Sell you wolf tickets so you will join the herd
 
They'll tie you to commercials by your
 
ve-ry soul
 
(Slow tempo) Then you'll die another martyr
 
When you had signed up for "Reserve"...
 
Chorus 2:
 
Oh, for the oil (Oil)
 
Oil (Oil)
 
All the boys and goils
 
Dropping like the flies they are
 
In defocated soil
 
For the oil (Oil)
 
Oil (Oil)
 
OIL...
 
Oh, you're just another pawn in search of oil
 
 
Bridge:
 
Well, they have got the answer
 
For the cancer that is us
 
Arm me with an army
 
Full of men whose future's dust
 
But we have got a question
 
That'll never be regarded
 
Why teens with dreams and M-16s
 
(Slow tempo) Are always easy targets?
 
 
Verse 3:
 
Well, they say that we must be a peaceful nation
 
Overly concerned with security
 
But the strongest WMAs are in our hands
 
We hang ourselves, tethered by her disease
 
 
Chorus:
 
For...
 
The...
 
Oil (Oil)
 
Oil (Oil)
 
My head is blown for oil (O-il)
 
My chest is full of lead
 
Instead of blood,
 
I'm fueled by oil (O-il)
 
Oil (Oil)
 
Oil (Oil)
&NBSP;< DIV> 
OIL (O-il)...
 
Well...
 
You're...
 
Just another pawn in search of oil
 
(Piano ends)
