Gasoline
(Lyrics: Crow Music: Crow, Trott, Bottrell)

>Way back in the year of 2017
>The sun was growing hotter
>And oil was way beyond its peak
>When crazy Hector Johnson broke into a refinery
>And the black gold started flowing
>Just like Boston tea
>It was the summer of the riots
>And London sat in sweltering heat
>And the gangs of Mini Coopers
>Took the battle to the streets
>But when the creed was handed down
>For no more trucks and no more cars
>They threw cans of petrol through the windows at Scotland Yard
>Gasoline
>Will be free, will be free
>Gasoline
>Will be free, will be free
>When the Mounties stormed the palace of the Saudi family
>They held them up for ransom
>Without disturbing their high tea
>But their getaway was shaky
>They stalled in the Riyadh streets
>Cause you can't make it very far
>When your tank is on empty
>The final can of gasoline was loaded on a truck
>And driven through the streets of Agra to the palace aquaduct
>You see, all the majesty of worship that once adorned these fatal halls
>Was just a target to the angry
>As they blew up the Taj Mahal
>Gasoline
>Will be free, will be free
>Gasoline
>will be free, will be free
>Gary ran a market way down in Tennessee
>Where all the farmers got together and talked about this great country
>But when the government turned its back on farming
>Man, what I hear
>They dragged the pumps out of the ground
>With a big vintage John Deere
>I've got soldiers on my payroll
>Standing guard on my front drive
>Snipers on the roof poised at those
>Who don't want me alive
>Cause they audited my taxes
>My family under threat
>Cause I've got a message and a megaphone
>And I'll scream it to the death
>Gasoline
>Will be free, will be free
>Gasoline
>Will be free, will be free
>You got the farms in Argentina
>Making fuel from sugar cane
>You got the bastards in Washington
>Afraid of popping the greed vain
>Cause the money's in the pipeline
>And pipeline's running dry
>And we'll be the last to recognize
>Where there's shit there's always flies -----
