It's about power
"It's about oil, It's about greed..." Great lyrics! Hit the nail on the head.

It's about currency
The U.S. dollar is propped up by its power to purchase oil.  When Saddam began trading his oil in Euros, that sealed his fate. The song is a mixed bag.  I'll certainly give Amy Martin credit for confronting the Bush/Cheney propaganda and consumerism.  But the reference to "white men" is the usual ridiculous recitation of the activist script.  The last time I checked, there were millions people with brown and black skin who burn tons of oil every day. Ride a bicycle!
