Lyrics
Well I was watching the towers fall
And I would listen to the stories tall
Look away, look away, look away now
And I was wondering while you’re waging your war
Which side was winning, cos I ain’t keeping score
Look away, look away, look away now
It’s all about the power and the wealth
Goes with the secrets and the stealth
Black gold, Black gold
You heard that story, but it never gets old
Black gold, Black gold
Strike a vein boy it’s bought and it’s sold
Black gold, Black gold
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keeping stable all the foreign lands
Where steel horses graze on fields of sand
Look away, look away, look away now
You would watch all the forests burn
If you believed there was a profit to earn
Look away, look away, look away now
It’s all about the power and the wealth
Goes with the secrets and the stealth
Black gold, Black gold
You heard that story, but it never gets old
Black gold, Black gold
Strike a vein boy it’s bought and it’s sold
Black gold, Black gold
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Black gold, Black gold
You heard that story, but it never gets old
Black gold, Black gold
Strike a vein boy it’s bought and it’s sold
Black gold, Black gold
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
