Haven't we had enough trouble with British Petroleum? Now BP's suspected of conspiring with Statoil and Shell To jimmy the prices they're reporting to Platts, Inflating not just oil prices but gas prices as well Much the way LIBOR did for the big banks: Mark up a few of the last trades for the day And wonder of wonders – shout Hallelujah! For those in on the scam, it's Anchors Aweigh! Prices go up; the consumer's no wiser. For it's not what we think: not suppy and demand. It's price manipulation regulators aren't on to. Big oil flexing its muscle shows it's still in command. Price regulators and regulations have little effect. The public gets screwed. We still use fossil fuels. Until we get wise and switch to renewables, Big Oil's got us all by the family jewels.
