I had a job tending gardens in the citadel First heard the guns with my cousin standing at the well Running we were running we were running through the strafing We were running gotta get back home to mum and dad and safety The spires of Tal Afar lit up by fire clouds And the fire is coming closer coming closer coming closer Watch it rain down I died for American Oil I died for American Oil I died for American Oil I died for American Oil I was raised pentecostal in the red Mid-West Gave me the strength to tell the truth, fight for right, and all the rest Fighting I was fighting I was fighting for democracy I was fighting corporate power vested interests and the man In the rallies and the protests- man, we had a plan My picture from the file was stuck to the whiteboard They made sure the one that pulled the trigger was an outlaw I died for American Oil I died for American Oil I died for American Oil I died for American Oil I died for American Oil I died for American Oil I died for American Oil I died for American Oil Our own little black iron curtain Pray to the gods and demons of Halliburton A promise born in the shining city The snouts in the trough of complicity I used to swim in the Murray as a little tike Used to hum waltzing Matilda as I rode my bike Proud I was proud I was proud as I donned the camo I was proud as we landed checked my squad checked my gun and ammo I used to swim in the Murray as a little tike Used to hum waltzing Matilda as I rode my bike Proud I was proud I was proud as I donned the camo I was proud as we landed checked my squad checked my gun and ammo The Basra sun is a long way from Wodonga The sand and blood in my eye The sand and blood in my eye The sand and blood in my eye Don't think we can hold out any longer I died for American Oil I died for American Oil I died for American Oil I died for American Oil I died for American Oil I died for American Oil I died for American Oil I died for American Oil
