Letras
They said it on the TV
They said it on my phone
Billions moving somewhere
But I'm still here alone
They're talking like it's simple
Like it's black and white and clear
But every time I listen close
The truth just disappears
They say it's billions changing hands
But I can't see it where I stand
Gas went up, truth went down
And nobody knows who's running this town
Barrels roll and the stories spread
Somewhere between the lines and what's said
It ain't the oil that slips away-
It's the truth in the headlines every day
They call it relief or leverage
Depends on who you ask
One man's deal for stability
Another's hidden mask
Old debts, new permissions
Numbers thrown around
But somewhere in the middle
Is where the facts get drowned
They say it's billions changing hands
But I can't see it where I stand
Gas went up, truth went down
And nobody knows who's running this town
Barrels roll and the stories spread
Somewhere between the lines and what's said
It ain't the oil that slips away
It's the truth in the headlines every day
I ain't got a seat in the war room
I don't sit behind those doors
But I feel it in the grocery line
And the price at the pump for sure
And I don't know who's right or wrong
But I know what I can see
Every time they spin that story
It costs a little more for me
They say it's billions changing hands
But I can't see it where I stand
Gas went up, truth went down
And nobody's speaking plain out loud
Barrels roll and the stories spread
Truth gets lost in what's been said
It ain't the oil that slips away-
It's what we're told from day to day
Barrels and headlines
That's all they leave behind
