The sun was growing hotter
And oil was way beyond its

Gasoline

(Lyrics: Sheryl Crow - Music:

Way back in the year of 2017
The sun was growing hotter
And oil was way beyond its
peak
When crazy Hector Johnson
broke into a refinery
And the black gold started
flowing
Just like Boston tea

It was the summer of the
riots
And London sat in sweltering
heat
And the gangs of Mini Coopers
Took the battle to the
streets
But when the creed was handed
down
For no more trucks and no more
cars
They threw cans of petrol
through the windows at
Scotland Yard

Gasoline
Will be free, will be free
Gasoline
Will be free, will be free

When the Mounties stormed the
palace of the Saudi family
They held them up for ransom
Without disturbing their high
tea
But their getaway was shaky
They stalled in the Riyadh
streets
Cause you can't make it very
far
When your tank is on empty

The final can of gasoline was
loaded on a truck
And driven through the streets
of Agra to the palace
aquaduct
You see, all the majesty of
worship that once adorned
these fatal halls
Was just a target to the
angry
As they blew up the Taj Mahal

Gasoline
Will be free, will be free
Gasoline
will be free, will be free

Gary ran a market way down in
Tennessee
Where all the farmers got
together and talked about this
great country
But when the government turned
its back on farming
Man, what I hear
They dragged the pumps out of
the ground
With a big vintage John Deere

I've got soldiers on my
payroll
Standing guard on my front
drive
Snipers on the roof poised at
those
Who don't want me alive
Cause they audited my taxes
My family under threat
Cause I've got a message and a
megaphone
And I'll scream it to the
death

Gasoline
Will be free, will be free
Gasoline
Will be free, will be free

You got the farms in
Argentina
Making fuel from sugar cane
You got the bastards in
Washington
Afraid of popping the greed
vain
Cause the money's in the
pipeline
And pipeline's running dry
And we'll be the last to
recognize
Where there's shit there's
always flies (less)
