The New Black Gold

[Verse 1]
A glaring neon glow illuminates this street
Breathe in these human vapors, sweat and heavy heat
Hi-tech cathedrals rise and fall in great ravines
Colossal steeples to the gods in the machines

[Pre-Chorus]
Broken body built anew
Spirit lingers, torn in two
Metal fingers grip my heart so cold
Fossil fuels to slavery
Political duplicity
Every great commodity's been sold

[Chorus]
Slave to the new black gold, there's a heartbeat under my skin
Search my electric soul for the hidden man within
Slave to the new black gold, there's a heartbeat under my skin
Search my electric soul for the hidden man within

[Verse 2]
Your secret science conquers nature's cruel laws
But inside your wires lie a million mortal flaws
Electric sleep I dream inside my honeycomb
I stay alive inside my hive of skin and chrome

[Pre-Chorus]
Broken body built anew
Spirit lingers, torn in two
Metal fingers grip my heart so cold
Fossil fuels to slavery
Political duplicity
Every great commodity's been sold

[Chorus]
Slave to the new black gold, there's a heartbeat under my skin
Search my electric soul for the hidden man within
Slave to the new black gold, there's a heartbeat under my skin
Search my electric soul for the hidden man within

[Bridge]
Broken body built anew
Spirit lingers, torn in two
Metal fingers grip my heart so cold

[Chorus]
Slave to the new black gold, there's a heartbeat under my skin
Search my electric soul for the hidden man within
Slave to the new black gold, there's a heartbeat under my skin
Search my electric soul for the hidden man within

[Outro]
Slave to the new black gold, there's a heartbeat under my skin
(Broken body built anew)
Search my electric soul for the hidden man within
(Spirit lingers, torn in two)
Slave to the new black gold, there's a heartbeat under my skin
(Broken body built anew)
Search my electric soul for the hidden man within
(Spirit lingers, torn in two)
