Black is beautiful, when we strike with luck
Black is wonderful, when it makes a buck
Texas, Oklahoma, oh, you know it well
Fossil fuel the golden rule
An' send the earth to hell

Numb the pain
All is bright, all is gain
Sinkhole sweet, little quakes
Bankers grin, Trojan lakes

Oil today, gone tomorrow
Wealth, prestige, paves the sorrow
Climate change don't mean much
In an ivory tower power lunch

Jobs for the hungry mob
You worked for it, you did not rob
Silver, gold and sweetest crude
While you win the world will lose
Less for them, more for you
Black rainfall, environment blues
