Tankard - Black Plague lyrics
[Tankard - Black Plague lyrics]
It came from below, from under the sea
No warnings, maybe a few
A natural force paired with human greed
Dragged Deepwater into the blue
The following is a textbook case
How safety systems failed
Companies play with human lives
When profit's are saving the day
What do we learn from catastrophes like this?
Once there was something
Called "Exxon Valdez"
Workers were killed when the gas shot up
Ignited and finally explodes
A fire so bright, incredible heat
The rig sank and let the oil flow
So many species, endangered now
You've ruined the Gulf Sea of Mexico
Black Plague the meaning of "BP"
Top kill all plans failed finally
Black Plague one drill too much, too deep
Ruthless on judgement day we'll meet
The heads in charge downplayed the effect
"That's dangerous? We didn't know!"
Multiple tons poisoned water and coast
An oil slick out of control
What do we learn from catastrophes like this?
Once there was something
Called "Exxon Valdez"
It came from below, from under the sea
No warnings, maybe a few
A natural force paired with human greed
Dragged Deepwater into the blue
So many species, endangered now
You've ruined the Gulf Sea of Mexico
Black Plague the meaning of "BP"
Top kill all plans failed finally
Black Plague one drill too much, too deep
Ruthless on judgement day we'll meet
Shift from fossil hazards
To cleaner energies all United Nations
Go show some unity stop the lobbyism
Of mega companies government's protection
Is what the people need
Black Plague the meaning of "BP"
Top kill all plans failed finally
Black Plague one drill too much, too deep
Ruthless on judgement day we'll meet
Black Plague the meaning of "BP"
Fuckin' Top kill all plans failed finally
Black Plague one drill too much, too deep
Ruthless on judgement day we'll meet
No warnings, maybe a few
A natural force paired with human greed
Dragged Deepwater into the blue
The following is a textbook case
How safety systems failed
Companies play with human lives
When profit's are saving the day
What do we learn from catastrophes like this?
Once there was something
Called "Exxon Valdez"
Workers were killed when the gas shot up

A fire so bright, incredible heat
The rig sank and let the oil flow
So many species, endangered now
