Lyrics

Chorus

They claim the contract died today

But that contract never existed

Fifty years of fake tales

Paper lies and media twists

No secret pact in seventy-four

No chains on how they trade the oil

Economic power stays offshore

Building deep inside the soil

The riyal tied up tight to the green

Staying loyal to the scene

Verse 1

Viral headlines spinning fiction

Feeding internet addiction

Search for documents you find none

History stays written under the sun

Propaganda from the press

Causing geopolitical distress

Treasuries and mounting debt

A financial safety net

Keep the flow recycled back

System staying right on track

Chorus

They claim the contract died today

But that contract never existed

Fifty years of fake tales

Paper lies and media twists

No secret pact in seventy-four

No chains on how they trade the oil

Economic power stays offshore

Building deep inside the soil

The riyal tied up tight to the green

Staying loyal to the scene

Verse 2

Riyals pegged to American bills

Paying back those foreign thrills

Global banks won't move fast

Long established empires last

Checking every source we see

Demanding truth and literacy

Network effects dominate the play

Nothing ends in a single day

Shifting maps take their time

Currency ain't just a crime

Chorus

They claim the contract died today

But that contract never existed

Fifty years of fake tales

Paper lies and media twists

No secret pact in seventy-four

No chains on how they trade the oil

Economic power stays offshore

Building deep inside the soil

The riyal tied up tight to the green

Staying loyal to the scene

Bridge

Forty-five percent in USD

Owe it to the industry

Lock it in

Pay it back

Count the gold

Watch it stack

The rumors start to bleed

Sowing every panic seed

Chorus

They claim the contract died today

But that contract never existed

Fifty years of fake tales

Paper lies and media twists

No secret pact in seventy-four

No chains on how they trade the oil

Economic power stays offshore

Building deep inside the soil

The riyal tied up tight to the green

Staying loyal to the scene
