Axis of Diesel

The last Bush portrait, hot off the easel
Is what he calls the Axis of Diesel
Oily gents that drive him mad
Putin, Chavez and Ahmadinejad
Somehow Saudi has dodged this US label..
they say they are brothers, like Cain and Abel

"100 dollar oil is for our nation's best
Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of Rum"
"We will cut production, and screw the rest
Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of Rum"
"One for oil, and oil for one"
The three men roar on the Opec Forum

Big brother Saudi watches with glee
"these guys need the money, but do we?"
"We can live with oil at Dollars Fifty"
"They should just try to be more thrifty"
"let them cut production, we don't care"
"We'll make more and thus steal their share"


"what if Saudi keeps producing, while we idle?"
Ponders Putin.., "that 'd be suicidal"
"Unless, I can fool the other two, hee hee
Make them cut while I make more,like Saudi"
"Iran owes favors and Chavez is a bit thick"
"I bet my Russian charm can do the trick"

This crisis may expose such rats and weasels
That were so dearly called the Axis of Diesel
Still..somehow Saudi has dodged this US label..
They must truly be brothers like Cain and Abel
They have friction except when under the table
Conjoined by a glue called Exxon Mobil

Iran , Russia and Venezuela
The oil spell will end, like Cinderella
And what then are they to do?
They'd be poor again like me and you..
Except Russia, who will still kick ass
Blessed as it is with Natural Gas
