Black  gold  in a white  plight
 Won't you fill  up the tank,  let's  go for a ride
I  don't care  about no  wheelchair
 I've got so much  left  to do  with my life
 Moving backwards through time Never learn, never mind (pattern 2)
 That side's yours, this side's mine Brother you ain't my kind (pattern 2)
 You're a black soldier, white fight
 Won't you fill up the tank let's go for a ride
 Sure'd like to feel some pride
 But this place just makes me feel sad inside
Mother,  do  you know where your kids are tonight?
 (Solo)
 (pattern 1)
 Keeps the kids of the streets Gives them something to do, something to eat
 (pattern 2)
 This spot was a playground This flat land used to be a town (pattern 2)
 (pattern 2)
 Black gold in a white plight
 Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride
 Sure'd like to feel some pride
 But this place just makes me feel sad inside
 Black gold in a white plight
 Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride
 I don't care 'bout no wheelchair
 I've got so much left to do with my life
