I remember the thirty-five cent good buys,
Was the price a-gal-o' gasoline,
Before ethanol.
But each OPEC member,
Caught us all quite surprised,
To be held by the third herd world,
In some crude black-mail.
Oil's smoking and my wallet tears,
I'm just sick about the whole affair.
I say, oh no,
Five bucks a gallon won't do.

Well, I did not think that "earl"
Could get that crude.
And we ain't never going back,
To cheaply fueled.

(Short Instrumental Break)

Oil handlers, gonna tear down my door,
Soon there gonna be big gloom
Due to fuel black-mail.
Take a gander,
Dollars for a gallon, four?
'pendin' on this gasoline,
It's a free for all.
Well-a, I fear that this'll make us not go,
Unless we take down old Texaco.
I say, on no,
Ethanol products won't go.

Well I did not think my world,
Would turn on crude.
Though we will not take it back,
Our promised food.

(Long Instrumental Break)

Can't afford ya; rumbles I think we'll see,
Why it is my car won't go
On that ethanol?
Got the corn, yeah,
But CITGO and SPC, [1]
So, I can't seem to get cheap fuel
From this crude black-mail
Well then, let's shoot a missile and stop the show,
We're gonna take out OPEC and Texaco.
I said, let's go,
Venezuela we'll brew.

Well, I just can't think the world,
Without cheap crude.
And we're never going back,
We are so screwed.
