From the recording Count. Me. In.
I am complicit in the overconsumption, over resource usage, and extravagance that perpetuates the climate crisis. So are many Americans. What will it take to turn us around?
Lyrics
Black Coal (capo on 4th in C#m)
Am G F E
Black Coal is easy to find, easy to extract, Black Coal.
Black Coal makes lots of money, but only for the bosses, Black Coal.
Black Coal I turn on the lights, I cook my lunch, Black Coal.
Black Coal I pay my electric bill, I think I might have lost my soul.
Chorus
To Black Coal, to Black Coal,
Have we lost our souls to Black Coal?
Black Coal had its revolution, made the factories, Black Coal.
Black Coal warmed our houses, Killer Smog in London, Black Coal.
Black Coal sent trains running, stripped the mountains, Black Coal.
Black Coal on death’s doorstep, pact with the Devil, sell your soul.
Chorus
Black Coal, black carbon, greenhouse gas, Black Coal.
Black Coal, big electric grid, big corporations, Black Coal.
Black Coal, fears the wind, fears the sun, Black Coal.
Black Coal, fears the people, saying no more, to Black Coal.
Chorus
