Oh my word, there's a cloud in the sky
so raise your prices, jack 'em high
a lion just farted in it's den
you know what to do, gouge 'em again,
you're puzzled why everyone complains
confronted by your record gains
capitalizing on supply and demand
with greed that makes a glutton bland
while fabricating higher peaks
from bits of dung - the whole thing reeks
much worse than when a cow has gas
and you oil barons , you can kiss my ass!

You think prices are bad now,
they can prevent a big bursting of the finical sector
only by printing more and more money
at least until people just give up on the dollar ...
that might be the course they've chosen.
It can't happen here:

Yes it's got to stop!
That's putting it bluntly, Bob :-)
Down with the oil barons!

Bitter reality... Well put!
Thanks, I can't believe I'm paying over $4 for the first time in my life. I remember the 70s oil embargo when my mom and I waited in line for over half an hour to get our allotted 5 gallons, almost seems better.
