The End of Fossil Fuel Man

Rusted heaps, abandoned on the streets, remnants of a bygone rage.
Graveyards of plastic, once useful, fantastic, scattered all over the place.
Clean water scarce, black and brown-outs everywhere.
Power shortages the order of the day.
Behind the media veneer, the picture’s real clear,
The age of wind and solar is here.
It’s not the rapture or some prophesy unfurled,
End of days or the end of the world.
It’s not the beast unleashed, or a curse upon the land –
IT’S JUST THE END OF FOSSIL FUEL MAN,
IT’S THE END OF THE FOSSIL FUEL REIGN.

Giant malls, ghost town suburban sprawls, mountains of garbage and waste.
Dust and rust bowls, homeless shiver in the cold, the desert heat reclaims its space.
Endless resource wars, tribes living by the sword,
The dollar not worth the paper it’s on.
Dreams of fare shares, will fmally come here,
When the drillers and the frackers are gone.
One day you wake up, right becomes wrong,
You realize we’ve crossed the Rubicon.
There’s no master plan, or some invisible hand,
Just THE END OF FOSSIL FUEL MAN,
IT’S THE END OF THE FOSSIL FUEL REIGN.

Now if you stay unconcerned, pretty soon you’ll learn
Ignorance is not a good bluff.
The more we consume, the quicker we’re doomed,
For the addicrt enough is never enough.
One day a storm will come, all the privilege you won,
Will blow away like empires in song.
The matrix will burst, from so much hunger and thirst,
When the cheap gas and oil are gone.
Better get to know your neighbors, learn to grow your own food.
Get some solar panels for your roof.
For the energy dinasaurs, extinction’s at hand –
IT’S THE END OF FOSSIL FUEL MAN
IT’S THE END OF THE FOSSIL FUEL PLAN.
IT’S THE END OF THE FOSSIL FUEL REIGN.
IT’S THE END OF FOSSIL FUEL MAN (2X)
IT’S THE END, IT’S THE END- OF FOSSIL FUEL MAN!
