\n[Spoken Vocal]
\nBlack gold…
\n(Is getting old)
\nLiquid energy…
\n(Lacks transparency)
\nA good thing?
\n(For absolutely nothing)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nYour oil
\n(Sure does spoil)
\nA good thing
\n(Sing:)<\/p>\n
Oil
\n(A slippery slope)
\n… don’t be a dope<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nPulled from deep beneath the ground
\nBlack and slick and flowing round
\nPowered engines, trucks and trains
\nBuilt an age of fuel and flames<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nDig it!
\n(Pump it!)
\nBurn it!
\n(Turn it!)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nOil
\n(Sure does spoil)
\nA good thing
\n(For a while)<\/p>\n
Oil
\n(A slippery slope)
\nDon’t be a dope
\n(Find some hope)<\/p>\n
Black gold
\n(Takes its toll)
\nBurned fuel
\n(Changes the whole)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nDrill the ground and pump it out
\nMove the cargo, move it about
\nRefineries turn the crude to flame
\nThen the atmosphere bears the claim<\/p>\n
[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo]

\n[Bridge]
\nOil!
\n(Oil!)<\/p>\n
Spoil!
\n(Spoil!)<\/p>\n
Choice!
\n(Choice!)<\/p>\n
Use your voice!<\/p>\n
Less!
\n(Don’t be useless!)<\/p>\n
Waste!
\n(Waste!)<\/p>\n
Change!
\n(The taste!)<\/p>\n
Don’t get caught
\n(On the slope)
\nThink ahead
\n(Find some hope)<\/p>\n
[Breakdown]
\n[Drums Drop Out: Acoustic Guitar, Bass, Soft Organ]
\nA costly habit…
\n(For our habitat)<\/p>\n
That’s where we’re at…<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain]
\nYour oil
\n(Sure does spoil)
\nA good thing
\n(Sing:)<\/p>\n
Oil
\n(A slippery slope)
\n… don’t be a dope<\/p>\n
[Final Chorus]
\nOil
\n(Sure does spoil)
\nBlack gold
\n(With a toll)<\/p>\n
Oil
\n(A slippery slope)
\nDon’t be a dope
\n(Find some hope)<\/p>\n
Oil
\n(It’s your choice)
\nUse your voice<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\n[Instrumental Outro: Blues Guitar Riff, Rolling Bass, Drums, Organ, Synth Fade]
\nOil…<\/p>\n
A slippery slope…<\/p>\n
Don’t be a dope…<\/p>\n
Choose more hope…<\/p>\n
[Spoken, fading]<\/p>\n
Use less.<\/p>\n
(Don’t be useless)<\/p>\n
