our weight in oil

And the world was lost some years ago
When the tyrants upped and seized control
And we lost our lives to worthless oil
And we're worth less than our weight in oil
But the stockholders all had their pay
But it's we who clean their mess anyway
And that revolution never came
And we'll never see that chance again
And hurt is all we know
Hate is all we know
The dirt is all we know...

[Matt Elliott, Our Weight In Oil]
