Oil Hucksters

In Iraq's desert
Thousands die,
Give their lives
And don't know why,
But our leaders,
They do know
Why those poor souls
Had to go,
Not in defense
Of their holy soil,
They died for profits
On the oil,
But the people,
They will see
That they cannot
Let this be
And in unison,
They'll shout:
'Let us throw
Those hucksters out!'
