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?
