lyrics

The owners of your country want to sell off your soul
Reminding all the people of who’s really in control
Well I got out of there before it was too late to go
I saw their never-ending quest and the power that they hold

Now they got the people hooked, got them down on their knees
No one is the wiser not to eat what’s in the feed
But I’ll tell you son you must be blind if you don’t already know
That those who got the money now have got you by the throat

Searching for that
Black gold

Now someone call a doctor; it appears someone thinks too much
We’ve got some sort of wise guy and we know exactly what he wants
Well, if you don’t want any trouble I suggest you step along
We wouldn’t want to put that pretty face to end up where it belongs

And they’re searching for that
Just searching for that
Black gold

So where are you taking me? I was only speaking truth
I had a taste of your medicine and I know what’s in the brew
Oh is this the way you treat the ones who question what you say?
Could you please get your hands off of me and put those guns away?

And stop searching for that
Stop searching for that
Black gold

Now I must declare that I misspoke, I was blind but now I see
It’s them not me that was correct; dear god you must believe
I was asking only for trouble and that’s what I received
So don’t mistake me for your leader; oh for my sake don’t follow me

And no more searching for that
No searching for that
Black gold
