Black GoldLyrics by Gregory Howe and Azeem (In italics)Vocals: Tony Moses, Azeem Backround Vocals: Lisa Rein, Gregory Howe Oh this mighty country Of skyscrapers and towering cities Massive structures and factories Of long highways of technologies We've been riding on it for a hundred years We'll run through it in a hundred more So many uses never known before We've raised this century here on oil Black gold did revolutionize the globe Black gold encircling us all Black gold spinning on the platter Black gold moving everything that matters Black gold heating up the world Black gold and speeding up its pulse Black gold keeping us station Black gold is driving the nation Oil is plastic, is gases, is tar, is your t.v., your computer, your clothes, and your car It's the heat in your house and the paint on your walls What a great reason for war. Black gold did revolutionize this globe Black gold encircling us all Black gold spinning on the platter Black gold moving everything that matters Black gold heating up the world Black gold and speeding up its pulse Black gold keeping stagnation Black gold is driving the nation Let's read the very first novel It's known as 'The Universe' Open to the 33rd chapter, that's 'The Book Of Earth' A mystic planet that was purple when it first was born Age of volcanoes, seas would bubble, and the skies looked torn This, we remember times, before the times of dinosaurs When modern times repeat, but peep Did you see that face on mars? Here's some science that they never taught in schools of law Time never was, cause infinity cannot be born They take the rosebuds and they leave us clutching only thorns Then give us husks and call it freedom and they eat the corn Nobody said that there was no such thing as vampires I know the truth how Rockefeller turns the schools to liars They sent the troops the people who ain't got no food supplyin' I can't be quiet, they'll charge me for incitin' riots Them same ones who have the government's control Are the same vampires who are sucking out the Earth's black gold Black gold Let's revolutionaize the globe Black gold And take back everything we own Black gold Love is one and one is whole Black gold The universe is one shaft of gold Black gold Fight till the sun turns color of bone Black gold The young the restless and the old Black gold Keeping us station Black gold Driving the nation There's a new gold rush Black gold rush going on It's world wide and growing strong They might not see what's going down When will we get back to where we belong? Yeah, they're making Iraqi gold from Texas Tea For interviews, photos, or more information about Wide Hive artists, please contact: press@widehive.com - (415) 282-9433.  © 2004 WIDE HIVE RECORDS PO BOX 460067 SAN FRANCISCO CA 94146 |
