Black were the people in the country of Biafra

On the continent of Africa, where the sun beat down like fire

The people and their babies had teeth and mouths and bellys

Like all people on the planet it was food that fueled their bellys

They worked and farmed and traded so that not a mouth went empty

For everyone was plenty when the wealth has shared out fairly

They were diligent and peaceful, quite content resourceful

Like all the people on the planet they had a fate most foul and dreadful

??? And black is the petrol were they flown around in engine ???

Transported very quickly to another destination

It's important, it's vital, it's the drug and we're the addicts

More and more and more must come to satisfy the habits

Now people of the kingdom that have lakes of oil beneath them

If you look on maps of Africa you will find Biafra on them

People of the kingdom that have lakes of oil beneath them

'F you look on maps of Africa you will find Biafra on them

People of the kingdom that have lakes of oil beneath them

Look on maps of Africa you will find Biafra on them
