[billy woods - Pump Up The Volume lyrics]
If we don't win by the ballot
It's back to the bush
Build an African Death Star out of callouses
Children's swollen stomachs
Push into the Presidential Palace
Big cigars ablaze no need for the suitcase
We already dug the graves
And those pumps work like slaves (Chop chop)
So when we let the machetes coup de grace
200 million barrels a day was all we saw
One Monkey Don't Stop No Show (No way)
Back in business
See that pipeline? Now I control the flow
Let Switzerland hold the dough
Tel Aviv can grind anything we
Get out those mines
Get Washington on the satellite phone
Promise a price freeze
Guarantee the safety of Royal
Dutch Shell employees
Increase the Mobil/Exxon concession
And send our militias more weapons
Purge the unions, assassinate the students
But keep promising elections
I don't want to put on the
BBC and see anything about repression
We fly by in bullet proof Benzes
Gucci aviators with the mirrored lenses
Sippin' champagne in the Seychelles
Living like this, boy it do get expensive
We fly by in bullet proof Benzes
Gucci aviators with the mirrored lenses
Sippin' champagne in the Seychelles
Living like this, boy it do get expensive
The village stands in the midst
Of such rapacious pillage
We live with murky rivers and oil spillage
Around here it's never dark
We live in the sparks
Perpetual gas flares look like
Rustin' Olympic torches
Black Gold medalists on derrick platforms
Surrounded by armed forces
Last thing we need is another daughter
Don't drink the water
Don't breathe the air
Don't talk to any reporters' tape recorders
Special Forces the only ones with
Cold beer and fresh vegetables
Knocking late at night
Cold fear grips your testicles
They pushin' in asking for you, her and him
They got lots of questions about what
You were doing with them
And who told who what, when
We fly by in bullet proof Benzes
Gucci aviators with the mirrored lenses
Sippin' champagne in the Seychelles
Living like this, boy it do get expensive
We fly by in bullet proof Benzes
Gucci aviators with the mirrored lenses
Sippin' champagne in the Seychelles
Living like this, boy it do get expensive
It's back to the bush
Build an African Death Star out of callouses
Children's swollen stomachs
Push into the Presidential Palace
Big cigars ablaze no need for the suitcase
We already dug the graves
And those pumps work like slaves (Chop chop)
So when we let the machetes coup de grace
200 million barrels a day was all we saw
One Monkey Don't Stop No Show (No way)
Back in business
See that pipeline? Now I control the flow
Let Switzerland hold the dough
Tel Aviv can grind anything we
Get out those mines
Get Washington on the satellite phone
Promise a price freeze
Guarantee the safety of Royal

Increase the Mobil/Exxon concession
And send our militias more weapons
Purge the unions, assassinate the students
But keep promising elections
