Selling Sand

Selling Sand - Tom Heyman

Fancy meeting you here you look good

And how you been

This place is pretty swank

I never thought we'd get let in

Tell me about the family and get us both a drink

I've got a little proposition

Won't you tell me what you think

When I get a college

Buddy knew some people on the hill

He had the inside track on an appropriations bill

We get the paper work together dot the

I's and crossed the T's

Got a tasty no bid contract

Just as pretty as you please

You know I've made a bundle

And you could make one too

But you better get a move on

On bill comes due

And if you want to get a taste

I'd be glad to show you how

It's like a license to print money

We're selling sand to Arabs now

Got the cement contract in Haditha and Tikrit

Blackwater on retainer riding shotgun in the street

Got and office in the green zone

And a suite in Silver Spring

Got some lawyers down on K street

Looking after everything

Got a spread in Fairfax County 13 acres and a pool

My wife is in the Junior League 2 kids in private school

We're keeping up appearances not to far out on a limb

Got a bank in the Bahamas where

I can wash the skim

Got and office in the green zone

And a suite in Silver Spring

A list of subcontractors lining up to kiss my ring

And if you want to get a taste

I'd be glad to show you how

It's like a license to print money

We're selling sand to Arabs now

You know I've made a bundle

Cause Freedom isn't free

You know I love my country

Just look what it's done for me

And if you want to get a taste

I'd be glad to show you how

Like a license to print money

Selling sand to Arabs now

Like a license to print money

Selling sand to Arabs now
