(feat. Ben Harper)
2
Way back in the year of 2017
3
The sun was growing hotter
4
And oil was way beyond its peak
5
When crazy Hector Johnson broke into a refinery
6
And the black gold started flowing
7
Just like Boston tea
8
It was the summer of the riots
9
And London sat in sweltering heat
10
And the gangs of Mini Coopers
11
Took the battle to the streets
12
But when the creed was handed down
13
For no more trucks and no more cars
14
They threw cans of petrol through the windows at Scotland Yard
15
Gasoline
16
Will be free, will be free
17
Gasoline
18
Will be free, will be free
19
When the Mounties stormed the palace of the Saudi family
20
They held them up for ransom
21
Without disturbing their high tea
22
But their getaway was shaky
23
They stalled in the Riyadh streets
24
Cause you can't make it very far
25
When your tank is on empty
26
The final can of gasoline was loaded on a truck
27
And driven through the streets of Agra to the palace aquaduct
28
You see, all the majesty of worship that once adorned these fatal halls
29
Was just a target to the angry
30
As they blew up the Taj Mahal
31
Gasoline
32
Will be free, will be free
33
Gasoline
34
Will be free, will be free
35
Gary ran a market way down in Tennessee
36
Where all the farmers got together and talked about this great country
37
But when the government turned its back on farming
38
Man, what I hear
39
They dragged the pumps out of the ground
40
With a big vintage John Deere
41
I've got soldiers on my payroll
42
Standing guard on my front drive
43
Snipers on the roof poised at those
44
Who don't want me alive
45
Cause they audited my taxes
46
My family under threat
47
Cause I've got a message and a megaphone
48
And I'll scream it to the death
49
Gasoline
50
Will be free, will be free
51
Gasoline
52
Will be free, will be free
53
You got the farms in Argentina
54
Making fuel from sugar cane
55
You got the bastards in Washington
56
Afraid of popping the greed vain
57
Cause the money's in the pipeline
58
And pipeline's running dry
59
And we'll be the last to recognize
60
Where there's shit there's always flies
