Black Gold Lyrics by Southeast Engine

0

Underneath they’re burning fuel to try to cross that line as soon as they can turn base metals into coal the local children will have to cope as the factories burn and smoke bringing heat to all of our homes I take the freeway in the morning I take the freeway coming home I can’t help but feel the warnings everywhere I go
National leaders are endorsing trade and say that’s how this country’s made and say that’s the way it should go on but innocence will shed its grace and take the mask off of its face it won’t look too good to anyone the beasts of burden light their candles and invoke the clouds to rain as mistresses wait patiently practicing their aim and every time that she’s ignored she knocks louder on your door she calls your house to hang up she waits for you to slip up to share the secrets that you keep she’ll make it so you don’t get to sleep and when you say enough’s enough she’s gonna find out how tough you are
So a man kills the things he loves to prove himself to be above the very things that he depends upon and despite what he may need he won’t acknowledge what he sees not even the ground he’s standing on men have dreams they don’t remember and thoughts they can’t control they dig the bottom of the ocean they build a tower so tall
