The Battle of New Oil-Lease (circa 1980) ----------------------------------------
CHORUS
------
Iran thru the cameras and Iran thru the papers Iran thru the White House Where the oil money flows Iran so bad Our Army couldn't catch 'em They took our radar bases in the Gulf of Texaco
VERSES
------
Early in the winter Year of '79 Some students in Iran, They put it on the line In a fight for independence They took our embassy Shouting out the slogans Of their leader - KHOMENHI
CHORUS
With Americans for hostages They bargained for the Shah A rich, exiled dictator, Who had broke their Muslim law They said he owed them money Was a traitor and a beast And in the name of freedome They upset the Middle East
CHORUS As we move into the 80's There's still no end in sight Muslims beat themselves with chains While spoiling for a fight Ayatollah wants it his way Carter disagrees People everywhere Are talking WWIII
