Way back in the year of 2017The sun was growing hotterAnd oilWas way beyond it's peakWhen crazy Hector JohnsonBroke into a refineryAnd the black goldStarted flowingJust like Boston teaIt was the summerOf the riotsAnd London satIn sweltering heatAnd the gangsOf Mini CoopersTook the battleTo the streetsBut when the creedWas handed downFor no more trucksAnd no more carsThey threw cans of petrolThrough the windowsAt Scotland YardGasolineWill be free, will be freeGasolineWill be free, will be freeWhen the Mounties stormedThe palace of the Saudi familyThey held them up for ransomWithout disturbingTheir high teaBut their getaway was shakyThey stalledIn the Riyadh streetsCause youCan't make it very farWhen your tank is on emptyThe final can of gasolineWas loaded on a truckAnd driven throughThe streets of AgraTo the palace aquaductYou seeAll the majesty of worshipThat once adornedThese fatal hallsWas just a target to the angryAs they blew up the Taj MahalGasolineWill be free, will be freeGasolinewill be free, will be freeGary ran a marketWay down in TennesseeWhere all the farmersGot togetherAnd talked aboutThis great countryBut when the governmentTurnedIt's back on farmingMan, what I hearThey dragged the pumpsOut of the groundWith a big vintageJohn DeereI've got soldiersOn my payrollStanding guardOn my front driveSnipers on the roofPoised at thoseWho don't want me aliveCause they audited my taxesMy family under threatCause I've got a messageAnd a megaphoneAnd I'll scream itTo the deathGasolineWill be free, will be freeGasolineWill be free, will be freeYou got the farmsIn ArgentinaMaking fuelFrom sugar caneYou got the bastardsIn WashingtonAfraid of poppingThe greed vainCause the money'sIn the pipelineAnd pipeline'sRunning dryAnd we'll beThe last to recognizeWhere there's shitThere's always flies
