This is my take on the impact of closing the straight of Hormuz on gas prices around the world.
1 months ago
Things are feeling crazy, almost upside down The leaders of the world afraid of an aging clown The war in Iran has got us by the throat How did the Strait of Hormuz become a global goat? We have lots of oil, more than we’ll ever need But the price of a barrel isn’t set by a war It’s set by greed Yeah, the price of a barrel isn’t set by a war It’s set by greed. Verse 2 We’re being held hostage in a war we didn’t start We are not bystanders; the pain is in the heart War is an instrument of the wealthy, so it seems Peace is just a myth, living in our dreams A few high-stakes gamblers play with the people of the world Brandishing in shadows with their battle flags unfurled. Chorus (Refrain) War is a business, just another brand A cruel kind of commerce that few can understand War is a business, like any other brand But only the chosen get to play in the band. Bridge It’s a long way from the boardroom to the trenches in the mud It’s a short walk for a profit when the currency is blood The ledger stays in balance while the families pray and wait For a peace that’s always promised, to keep the war brand straight. Verse 3 The pipelines keep on pumping while the sky is turning grey We pay for bullets that take sons and daughters away The truth is buried deeper than the wells they’re drilling down In a world that’s lost its footing, lost its crown. Chorus (Refrain) War is a business, just another brand A cruel kind of commerce that few can understand War is a business, like any other brand
