White Gold Songtext
von Poly Styrene

Everybody′s looking for black gold, baby
Men digging and fighting wars
But ice is white gold, baby
And it's melting in front of our eyes, yeah
They call it climate change and global warming
But man needs a water reserve
Just waiting for liquid white gold, baby
Where are all the entrepreneurs?

I wish I could fly a plane
I wish I could fly a plane
I wish I could fly
I wish I could fly


Transport billions of ice cubes, honey
To deserts that have no rain
A beautiful resource, baby
Life without all the pain, yeah
Floods are coming, the world is changing
But I don′t believe we are doomed
Golden opportunity, baby
I'm rising above all the gloom

I wish I could fly a plane
I wish I could fly a plane
I wish I could fly
I wish I could fly

I wish I could fly a plane
I wish I could fly a plane
I wish I could fly
I wish I could fly
I wish I could fly a plane
To deserts that have no rain

I wish I could fly
I wish I could fly


Everybody's looking for black gold, baby
Men digging and fighting wars
But ice is white gold, baby
And it′s melting in front of our eyes, yeah
They call it climate change and global warming
But man needs a water reserve
Just waiting for liquid white gold, baby
Where are all the entrepreneurs?

I wish I could fly a plane
I wish I could fly a plane
I wish I could fly
I wish I could fly
I wish I could fly away
I wish I could fly away
I wish I could fly away
I wish I could fly away
