JIMI HENDRIX - Black Gold lyrics

rate me

Black is gold is pure<br />

And true kings of this earth.<br />

<br />

1.<br />

<br />

So I say it's up to us to straighten<br />

Out this mess...<br />

We got to go through hell...<br />

And then that's the last of this<br />

Miserable test...<br />

<br />

2.<br />

<br />

Black must be bold<br />

Because it's gold and true<br />

Kings of this world...<br />

So let them go to the moon.<br />

Yes let them go to mars.<br />

Because deep down inside<br />

They're really from the stars.<br />

<br />

3.<br />

<br />

That's why they don't want<br />

Us to mix...just the way<br />

The word of God had said.<br />

So let them go to saturn...that's<br />

Where they'll learn instead.<br />

Because black and white<br />

Together is right...<br />

And white by itself is<br />

An egotistic elf.<br />

<br />

4.<br />

<br />

So they show you how to<br />

Kill...and if you don't<br />

They will.<br />

What do they know about<br />

Happiness...<br />

How can they about life...<br />

They just got lost in space.<br />

So when they landed,<br />

Atlantis cried.<br />

<br />

So if they're so alone try<br />

To make them feel at home.<br />

So let them fetch you fire wood.<br />

And let them nibble on the bone.<br />

So invent a word called love.<br />

And then they blame our mistakes on god.<br />

Don't you know how lonely they must be.<br />

So many light years from home.<br />

Hey soulful people I'm calling.<br />

Don't be no more slaves.<br />

Because God will protect us<br />

When it comes to doomsday.<br />

Realize before it's too late...<br />

That no one on earth will escape.<br />

We are the kings of earth.<br />

And axis gonna put them slaves...<br />

They killed so many worlds before.<br />

But they will pass sentence upon themselves...<br />

When the earth opens up...will<br />

They be saved from our hell.<br />

<br />

I feel the truth of life.<br />

We better all realize...<br />

People like me and you<br />

We feel so bad, don't know<br />

What to do... they keep us<br />

High low on drugs.<br />

And they got us making their rugs...<br />

As we go dripping blood.<br />

But the sun knows as<br />

The wind blows and the<br />

Fire grows towards the<br />

Far shores and the water<br />

Foams to make steamed<br />

Bones of all of those who don't belive that...<br />

Black is gold is the kings of this world.<br />

We all better get our places<br />

Before God tells us to our<br />

Face we are...past the human race.<br />

Let's pray that we all agree<br />

We got to straighten out the family tree.<br />

Life is for you and me togather.<br />

That's the way it was meant to be.<br />

White man watch your mouth<br />

Because our drums, they face the south.<br />

And you can't kill the god<br />

That kept you alive between<br />

The poles of the north and south.<br />

You better adjust your place<br />

In this world...before your<br />

Hair, it starts to curl...and the<br />

Yellow, red, and black of this<br />

World will tear your ass and soul apart.<br />

<br />

Where is he coming from ? <br />

From heaven where 1,000,000<br />

Worlds are one.<br />

Where is he going to ? <br />

He's going to make contact<br />

With the living and the dead...<br />

Here comes black gold...<br />

Gather round young and old...<br />

He's going to be felt by the<br />

Timid and the bold...<br />

Within a wink of an eye,<br />

<br />

With the wink of an eye<br />

Egos swell, bust and die...<br />

Kingdoms fall and cry...<br />

With the wink of an eye...<br />

With the wink of an eye<br />

A new born baby cries...<br />

And a 100 soldiers die with<br />

The wink of an eye.
