If you think you’re gonna get Kirkuk
You friggin' better take another look
Because I own your freaking punk regime
Petroleum control yeah I’m an oil man
Property of Bush just like Afghanistan
And maybe you’ll be next Iran

[Chorus]
Permanent bases
I thought I’d let you know my true intentions
Permanent bases
My true colors show
Iraq is slated for permanent bases

I cannot pretend it’s not the oil fields we defend
Why else would we care for the Iraqi’s fate?
And then with each attack
You ask when we’ll leave Iraq
But you forget about what we need
And then they plant another I.E.D.

[Chorus]
Permanent bases
I thought I’d let you know my true intentions
Permanent bases
My true colors show
Iraq is slated for permanent bases

Like South Korea’s puppet string master
Yankee boots in Baghdad fifty years after
Here we go…
Here we go again

[Chorus]
Permanent bases
I thought I’d let you know my true intentions
Permanent bases
My true colors show
Iraq is slated for permanent bases
