Black Gold

When I struck oil I finally found Gods own blood in the palms of my hands A gilded life in a gilded house, the power of flight mine at last; I changed the world, I re-defined its future sleek and oil refined I know the game, I play it well: Business booms as products sell It's a simple plan, a matter of fact - everyone needs what they think they lack; You see, you get it all but you still want more - a smoother drive in a slicker car Touched by grace and sanctified by off-shore accounts and first class rides I fly with the trade winds wherever they blow as I've always done, as I'll continue to do; And with the spirit of commerce at my right hand side I calculate the future And watch my assets rise We bought and sold, paid the price for our black gold
