Lyrics

Crude
Roger Bostelman

Moderately fast, 140 bpm, rock.

1. Slippery and wet
Dirty and black
They say it?s like gold to you and me
Got a lot right here
But, we want what?s over there
Doesn?t seem to be enough to fill the need.

2. We?ve got a history of spend
Like a smoker we depend
More addicting than a pile of blow or downs
How many barrels in the ground
Is it the only stuff we found?
Cause it?ll never be enough to go around

Chorus:
It?s crude and it?s good
Good enough to fight for
Dig holes in my yard hope it bubbles from the ground
It?s crude, get refined
What a gas to overprice
Dig holes I know there?s more money underground
Crude makes the world go ?round
Crude makes the world go ?round

3. I could make myself a still
Put the car on moonshine
Hope she and I don?t have to drive a line
Or there?s always nuclear
What could go wrong there
Everybody with a nuke - yikes!

4. But, what if it?s all gone
Yeah the crude?s all gone
Man, what will we do then?
It?s back to basics
Cows will pull the rake
And an Amish guy will run for President.

Chorus

Bridge
Everybody spread the land
Dig like you never have
Who knows what you may find
Maybe oil or a wrong way sign
The solution?s someplace else
Got our heads way underground
Man I like the way things are
What?s wrong with my motor cars?

Chorus
Dig holes God must have hid our money underground
Crude makes the world go ?round (repeat)
Crude, I need some Crude.
