Testo Gasoline - Sheryl Crow
Testo della canzone Gasoline (Sheryl Crow), tratta dall'album Detours
Way back in the year of 2017
The sun was growing hotter and the oil was way beyond its peak
When crazy Hector Johnson broke into the refinery
And the black gold started flowing just like Boston tea
It was the summer of the riots and London suffered sweltering heat
And the gangs of Mini Coopers took the battle to the streets
But when the creed was handed down for no more trucks and no more cars
They threw cans of petrol through the
Windows of Scotland Yard and they yelled
Gasoline
We'll be free
We'll be free
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Gasoline
We'll be free
We'll be free
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
When the Mounties stormed the palace of the Saudi family
They held them up for ransom without disturbing their high tea
But their getaway was shaky and they stalled in the Riyadh streets
'Cause you can't make it very far when your tank is on empty
But the final can of gasoline was loaded on a truck
And driven through the streets of Agra to the palace aqueduct
You see, all the majesty of worship
That once adorned these fatal halls
Was just a target for the angry as they
Blew up the Taj Mahal and they yelled
Gasoline
We'll be free
We'll be free
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Gasoline
We'll be free
We'll be free
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Gasoline
We'll be free
We'll be free
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Gasoline
We'll be free
We'll be free
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
My friend Gary ran a market way down in Tennessee
Where the farmers got together and talked about this great country
But when the government turned its back on the farmer men what I hear
Is they dragged the pumps out of the
Ground with a big vintage John Deere
Well, I have soldiers on my payroll standing guard in my front drive
And snipers on my rooftops and those that didn't want me alive
'Cause they audited my taxes and my family under threat
'Cause I had a message and a megaphone
And I screamed it to the death, yeah
Gasoline
We'll be free
We'll be free
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Gasoline
We'll be free
We'll be free
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Gasoline
We'll be free
We'll be free
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Gasoline
We'll be free
We'll be free
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
You got the pumps in Argentina making fuel from sugarcane
You got the bastards up in Washington
Afraid of pumping that green vein
'Cause the money's in the pipeline and the pipeline's running dry
And we'll be the last to recognize
Where there is shit there's always flies
