Lyrics

They say we're short on gasoline
And there's very little crude oil too
There's not enough to go around
Lord, what will we do?
We've heard that old story before
Ain't puttin' nobody down
But I've got a feeling there's more than dirt
Just lying beneath the ground
Miles and miles of cars lined up
Some even carrying guns
Now it's gonna get a lot worse than that
When the trucks no longer run
If they want to raise the prices
Why don't they come out and say
We've got it, and you need it
And we're gonna have to pay
Gasoline, gasoline
Gasoline, bummer shit
Gasoline, gasoline
The price we have to pay today
Is getting out of hand
And when we ask what's gone wrong
They blame it on another man
Why do we have to buy our oil
From a foreign land?
Could it be someone at the top
Got a sticky hand?
Gasoline, gasoline
Gasoline, bummer shit
Gasoline, gasoline
When they try to charge a poor man
More than he can pay
They'll find that when his back's against the wall
He'll find another way
Rich man (rich man)
Poor man (poor man)
Up man (up man)
Down man (down man)
And the all around man
Needs gasoline (gasoline)
The trucks (trucks)
The buses (buses)
The trains (trains)
The planes (planes)
What am I talking about?
I need gasoline too
How am I gonna get over here to see my lady
If I don't get no gasoline?
What is it?
Can I have some gasoline?
I don't care how much it costs, I'll pay it
I need it, you got it, we need it
We'll have to pay for it
So give me some gasoline
My woman's waiting over here, man
What's going wrong?
What is it?
Planes won't fly
The trains won't ride
The farmers can't get no food
They can't get where they're going
'Cause everybody needs some gasoline
I don't know what's wrong
