The Union
Black Gold
Here we go boys over the top
In a God forsaken land
Validated, justified
Gonna help our brothers in a jam
There's a mad dog runnin' wild
And the whole world must be told
But we don't want nobody talking 'bout black gold
It's outrageous, it's a crime
A tragedy a sad affair
They got civil war and poverty
But if they ain't got it over there
I don't think we should rush in shooting
Don't think we can be that bold
'Cause we ain't gonna fight if they ain't got no black gold
There ain't nothing there
No black gold
There ain't nothing there
No, no black gold
[INSTRUMENTAL]
There's nothing buried 'neath the desert sands
To make us run away in fright
But we can't let our people know
We gotta keep 'em petrified
We can blame bad information
We're acting out what we're told
And we'll never admit that it's all about black gold
And we don't want nobody talking 'bout black gold
No, we ain't gonna fight if they ain't got no black gold
There ain't nothing there
No black gold
There ain't nothing there
No, no black gold
