now the king said to his camel men

we have to make that frackin’ stop

the oil from the bakken play

has cut into our payday

(and oh by the way i’m not feeling well today)

So the king said watch me screw them all, we control the price to pay

we had it really really overpriced and still getting richer everyday.

The Saudis they don’t like it,

fracking the bakken

fracking the ford shale

the saudis they don’t like it

putin and obama

and fracking the bakken.

now obammy said to his cabinet clan

that big oil is going to flop

we’re gonna price cut putin

to make his aggression stop

we’re gonna topple isis with our economic guns

we won’t put our boots on ground and avoid the real action

and so i will not need to make a decision.

you see obama he don’t like it

putin and isis

isis and putin

you see obama he don’t like it

rootin tootin putin

or syria solutions,

syria solutions

now obama said to the fresh new king

young man i really like your style

we’ve become so geo political toleration all the while

i can’t concern myself with big oil

and the dividends they must pay

they didn’t vote for me and my change anyway…

So all the camel dung rolls downhill

with the economic war we play

the fallout begins to takes its toll,

makes you wonder who we work for, as we struggle every day

some sharif or a fanatical asshole.

cause joe six pack he don’t like it,

being the lackey, getting played the lackey

no, joe six pack he don’t like it

he don't like the one percenters don't like the one percenters

joe six pack he don’t like it

tolerance and correctness

Hey Kid NB, back at'cha. Thanks for the 80's music reminder, U-tube has a whole play list of them. I thought i heard that the other day. I am feeling a lot of pent up anger and aggression in that old man. What is the word, angst? His old world is changing, poor fella. Quill, ink, type, keyboarding and text. Next thing you know people will be driving around in cars that are not fueled by fossil fuels, and what? Oh, wait a minute, some people are doing that already. Well, don't worry cowboy, it will never catch on.

Yeah....we need another Bush in office to keep stirrin' the SH*T.....???You can't kill an "idealogy" with guns and bombs.....it will live on.

I shouldn't be surprised to see the oil prices blamed on Obama....the 12 nations of OPEC had nothing to do with setting the production levels? Nah...blame it on this administration.

Oh...and you either need to get out of the oil field and get another line of work OR you can prepare for the boom/bust cycle of the oil industry. This must be your first rodeo? yeah, it has to be. Us oldtimers..we are sitting back and grinning at all the anger and disbelief from you young whipper snappers that thought it was never going to end. Of course it ends..it always does. Give it a year or two and it will be back with lots of job offers. This is the younger oil man's first lesson on learning to save and save and save.
