Black Plague (BP) - Tankard

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»

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

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

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
