Story Behind The Song

Inspired by the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico

Song Description

Those who are involved in deep sea drilling for oil must always put safety, protecting wildlife and the environment above monetary gain

Lyrics

There's gold to be found if you drill way down
Under the deep and cold dark sea
It's black, it's tarry, we'll all be sorry
If more black gold ends up where it shouldn't be
Cause some were too bold and they lost control
Of the power below that cold, dark sea
Unleash hell's fury, an angry jury
Might say "guilty, in the first degree"
So do things right and take it slow
Cause if you don't more spilled oil goes
To our marshes, to our beaches
To every living thing it reaches
Don't want another spill in our backyard
To spoil this earthly paradise
Cause there's no gold in this whole world
Worth that sacrifice
Yes, black gold can be found if you drill way down
Under the deep and cold dark sea
But earn the right to go down there
By showing that you realty care
For our marshes, for our beaches
For nature's beauty and its creatures
Don't want another spill in our backyard
To spoil this earthly paradise
Cause there's no gold in this whole world
Worth that sacrifice
No, there's no gold in this whole world
Worth that sacrifice
