Political piece. 60's style.
One piano. One voice . . a few layers and lyrics that explore the less obvious elements of the human condition.
Story behind the song
No trust in Politics. Especially Political leaders who are there because of oil money. I can't believe it's legal!
Lyrics
How many barrels of oil
Would it take, for me
To end, someone.
Whether they stumble or fall
Is it one to three
Or three to one.
Its nice to believe in all that you say
Cause my life is great if I play it your way.
How many barrels of oil
Would it take, for me
To starve, someone.
Parents, wife, children and all.
Is it me, and you
Or us, and them.
Its nice to believe in all that you say
My foods virtually free if I work or I play.
And my life is great if I take it your way.
Ooohhhhh
Its nice to believe in all that you say
Their leaders get rich cause its them that we pay.
And our lives are great if we keep it that way.
