Royal Oil Song Lyrics

 

Royal oil, come on bubble and boil.
Stabs like a dagger, makes you stagger on the hot tin foil.
Mind your mind or it will surely spoil
And then you sleep down in the soil.
Nothing come from nothing, come on
Royal oil.

When you smoke or poke the poison
You lose the chance to be tomorrow.
(You're gonna lose the chance)
Look out on the horizon
And see the sadness, the pain, and the sorrow.

I can't say enough about the stuff
Or what it has in store.
When you smoke or poke the poison
You won't be anymore.

Royal oil, come on bubble and boil.
Stab like dagger, it makes you stagger on the hot tin foil.
Mind your mind or it will surely spoil
And then you sleep down in the soil.
Nothing come from nothing, come on
Royal Oil.

Royal oil has cut many down to size.
Spikes gonna strike the weak and strong alike.
And then forever, and ever close those eyes.
Make up your mind to keep your mind up
And to your life be loyal.
Nothing comes from nothing, come on
Royal oil.

Royal oil, come on bubble and boil
(Royal oil, big trouble brewing)
Stab like dagger, it makes you stagger on the hot tin foil.
(Long lonely road, long road to ruin)
Mind your mind or it will surely spoil
(Wrong path to take, great big mistake)
And then you sleep down in the soil.
You're gonna sleep down in the soil.
And then you sleep down in the soil.
Nothing comes from nothing, come on
Royal oil.

This is one seriously confusing video. The song is a straightforward condemnation of drugs. The video? Apparently an expose on the seamy underbelly of syrup.
