This Wednesday 29 June, the Corporate Pirates will be out en masse to protest at the Iraq Petroleum Conference 2005. The protest is taking place at the Hilton, Paddington, London. Assemble Edgware Road tube at 10.30am. Organised by Corporate Pirates and Iraq Occupation Focus. Come dressed as a pirate (if possible!) and look out for the pirates' galleon...
It's vital that many people come up to sing out the message that Iraqi wealth should be in the hands of the Iraqi people. We must stop the corporate plunder of Iraq!

corporate pirates!
Amongst many other shenanigans, the pirates will be singing the following sea shanty to the tune of "what shall we do with a drunken sailor". Join us!
What shall we do with an old dictator (repeated 2 more times)
Everyone in mourning
Invade Iraq or any nation
We'll bring freedom and privation
While the masses face starvation
Everyone in mourning!
(chorus)
Oil! Oil! For whom we toil
Privatise and create turmoil
Getting richer while seas boil!
Everyone in mourning!
What shall we do about al-qaeda (2x)
Everyone in mourning!
Invade iraq and don't you mention
Human rights, Geneva Convention
Odious debt repatriation!
Everyone in mourning!
(chorus)
Oil! Oil! For whom we toil
Privatise, create turmoil
Getting richer while seas boil!
Everyone in mourning!
