Black Gold Lyrics - Black Gold: The Best Of Soul Asylum - Soul Asylum

Two boys on a playground 

Tryin' to push each other down 

See the crowd gather 'round 

Nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd 

Black gold in a white plight 

Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride 

I don't care 'bout no wheelchair 

I've got so much left to do with my life 

Moving backwards through time 

Never learn, never mind 

That side's yours, this side's mine 

Brother, you ain't my kind 

You're a black soldier, white fight 

Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride 

Sure, like to feel some pride 

But this place just makes me feel sad inside 

Mother, do you know where your kids are tonight? 

Keeps the kids off the streets 

Gives 'em something to do, something to eat 

This spot was a playground 

This flat land used to be a town 

Black gold in a white plight 

Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride 

Sure, like to feel some pride 

But this place just makes me feel sad inside 

Black gold in a white plight 

Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride 

I don't care 'bout no wheelchair 

I've got so much left to do with my life
