Found a fix thats legal
and taxed when its sold
Theres no AA meetings to attend
and I never just say no

It made Jed Clampet rich
Made J.R. Ewing scheme
Turned the Getty's into the Kennedy's
and made a junkie out of me

I gotta have more of that black gold
Cause I'm addicted to a substance
Thats 4 billion years old

They invented a war
so I'd have more of that crude
Put a dealer on every corner
just to make my needle move

They'll go off-shore
when its harder to find
and upset the natural balance
to put me in a Quaker State of mind

I gotta have more of that black gold
Cause I'm addicted to a substance
Thats 4 billion years old

They make it so damn easy
to get a deal done
Hand over nicotine and lotto picks
after I've injected from their pumps

So don't try no intervention
with electric power
I did'nt stop smoking weed
when I plugged in my quitar

I gotta have more of that black gold
cause I'm addicted to a substance
thats 4 billion years old
