Oil Songtext

von Beans On Toast

Oil!
I saw a documentary
That said that pretty soon
We'll take the last of the oil from the well.
I'm not talkin' about America
Or Saudi Arabia.
I'm talkin' about the oceans
And everything surroundin' 'em.
We wrapped it up and barrelled it
And used every last drop.
There's not a substance in the world
That can replace this stuff.
We need it to make plastic,
Petrol and energy.
The world would be pretty different
Without electricity.
And pretty soon the planes
Won't be able to fly,
There'll be nothin' to put in the car
And get it to drive.
And you won't be able to use your mobile phone,
Not that there'd be anyone to call.
Oil!
Because the police, they'll stop workin'
When they stop gettin' paid.
In fact, it feels like everybody,
Done exactly the same.
'Cuz no one fix the sewers,
And the hospitals are shut.
The supermarket's empty.
The food is runnin' out.
Every inch of our economy
Has fallen to collapse,
And believe it or not
Violence erupts.
And only the strongest will survive.
And most of the world's population will die.
Maybe, baby, now we've got more than we need,
Pretty soon we won't have anything at all.
Pretty soon we won't have anything at all.
