Black Plague (BP)
It came from below, 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 profits 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"

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
Solo
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
