And what do you think people are gonna want us to do then?
Ask them when there's no heat in their homes and they're cold
Ask them when their engines stop
Ask them when people who've never known hunger start going hungry
You wanna know something?
They won't want us to ask them, they'll just want us to get it for them
Run, get the kids we've got to leave any second now
Blood on the horizon, now's the time for checking out
Hear that in the distance, listen to it closely
It'll finish you, me and mankind grossly
It's our fault mostly, everyone's ability to use up every fossil fuel in the vicinity
Now the worlds a k**er we've got to move along
That's the sound of the earth singing d**h songs
You discover more crude oil (give me some, give me some)
Fight for the soil of the desert where you dig it up
Whoever got the cillit got the power never give it up
You need a remedy, sell it to your enemy like you do with your weaponry
Better be ready for the time when you're running out of energy
World's getting hotter not a lot you're gonna do
Armageddon ensues and the rivers rise up
There's all these monsters at work and they're burning burning burning
They keep their hush (hush) they'll never stop earning
Earth's needing us, it's just that no-one gives a flying f**
Why give a damn if the world's still turning huh?
Dig deeper, then another meter, finders keepers
Now you gotta reap the rewards, though it's flawed you can sell it to the hordes
If another tries nicking it, cut him with a sword
Look out for the second wind, the earth fights back with a vengeance
Wipes out all its dependants
Descendants from those who opposed the facts and brought heat a spot where the place once froze
It goes and it goes till the snows turn sand
In the hands of the clans called eskimos
And it's best he knows that unless we atone
One day soon he'll wear a vest at home
Man X went up to man Y, stuck a pump in the ground and s**ed his land dry
Now he's in his palace looking flash, full of malice
A stack of cash, playing with his tash
He watches planes crash into the side of a scraper
Now he's got the headlines he needs for his paper
Now he has a reason to send his legions
Control the region that supplies mans fuel
There's all these monsters at work keen on burning burning burning
They keep their hush (hush) they'll never stop earning
Earth's needing us, it's just that no-one gives a flying f**
Why give a damn if the world's still turning huh?
Run, get the kids we've got to head for the high ground
The world's vexed, you can see is in the sky's cloud
No plastic, that's what they're coming for
Come to take it back quick, simply as that's it
Drastic measures but we got greedy
To range us, pleads, and we didn't plant seeds beneath the mud
Just burnt the earth's blood
For the second time now, there's gonna be a huge flood
Go, don't start the car cause there's no more gas now
That's how we go here, not clear, more fear, look here
The water's rebellious, that's the earth's tears
You dug deeper than another meter, finders keepers
Then you had to reap the rewards
Though it's flawed you would sell it to the hordes
When another tried nicking it, you cut him with a sword
There's all these monsters at work keen on burning burning burning
They keep their hush (hush) they'll never stop earning
Earth's needing us, it's just that no-one gives a flying f**
Why give a damn if the world's still turning huh?
