[Verse 1] They said it was oil Stolen from the ground Barrels taken back To stabilize supply Heavy crude sits slow Needs money to move Costs more to lift Than markets would choose Prices did not rise After it was done If this was the reason It did not behave like one [Pre-Chorus] The reason given Does not match the outcome The explanation Does not fit the act [Chorus] They said oil They said drugs They said pressure at the border They said democracy Each one offered Each one fails None of them require What was done [Verse 2] They said narcotics Charges filed in court Networks in the region Operating beyond control Even their own reports Said authority was indirect If that is the structure The charge does not connect [Pre-Chorus] The reason given Does not match the structure The explanation Does not fit the scale [Chorus] They said oil They said drugs They said pressure at the border They said democracy Each one offered Each one fails None of them require What was done [Verse 3] They said migration Millions forced to leave A system breaking down Across the state Remove one figure The system remains The pressure does not change The cause is still in place They said elections Restoring the result But worked through the same Power structure already there [Pre-Chorus] The reason given Does not solve the problem The explanation Does not match the method [Chorus] They said oil They said drugs They said pressure at the border They said democracy Each one offered Each one fails None of them require What was done [Verse 4] Gold moved quietly Sanctions worked around Channels already known Long before the raid If that was the issue There were tools in place None of them required Forces on the ground [Pre-Chorus] Every mechanism Already existed Everything needed Short of this [Chorus] They said oil They said drugs They said pressure at the border They said democracy Each one offered Each one fails None of them require What was done [Bridge] Sanctions Extradition Interdiction Covert pressure Diplomacy Financial isolation All of it available All of it in use [Break] So why this Why now Why this method At this scale [Outro] They explain the problem They do not explain the choice The reason is somewhere else These are not the fucking reason
