The Union - Black Gold

Track 9 from Siren's Song.

Lyrics:
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.

Planet Rock lead me to seek this out too :)

Been wondering about the lyrics - thanks!

[CammyD1000]

@EnrehB Well as you can see someone had corrected me on my feeble attempt at the lyrics, not realising that they were all within the sleeve of the album haha.

So there is no mistakes with the lyrics :)

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!! I've been listening to this on Planet Rock for months, I love it. Proper Rock n Roll!!! XD \m/

[CammyD1000]

@jasoncronin My pleasure! Make sure to listen to the other songs as well, they are all awesome xD

[1StevieA]

I thought you'd perhaps used some sort of soundboard interp. Do you only have a down load of the albums then? The lyrics are inside the cover booklets.

[CammyD1000]

@1StevieA I shall have them sorted soon.

[Heimdal76]

Great song Great Band. Thx to Planet Rock for introducing me to them. You won't get me I'm part of THE UNION!!

[1StevieA]

@CammyD1000 There you go then matey happy to help. Always a simple answer if you know where to look.:D

[CammyD1000]

@1StevieA No I have purchased both albums, and if they do I had not even considered that option haha.

[CammyD1000]

@1StevieA I've had to attempt the lyrics myself, I am aware there will be mistakes. Instead of contradicting them perhaps assist me?
