Imagine there was no more oil, and I donât mean olive
I mean the type of oil where the B.P. spill is.
The kind of oil they drill into earthâs crust for
The kind they drill the land and the seas for
The kind that got Alfayed his Harrods
The kind they go to war and presidents vanish
The kind that couldnât heat your house when itâs colder
We all want to go back to Ethiopia
But we all couldnât get there
Cause no cars, no trains, no planes would be running.
No staff, no guards, and no summit couldnât stop it
No G8 couldnât lie cause it was happening.
No way to get around it, only through it.
Weâd live of potatoes like the Irish famine, yeah it would be dread
Civil unrest cause the ones who couldnât harvest they wouldnât get fed.
Weâd be strapped like the feds,
Trying to protect our patch cabbage over the garden fence.
Bartering with food, money will be gold.
The new world order I suppose
It would begin when the banks start closing
They call that a recession cause money is just paper,
Itâs only representation of oil so if there is no oil then there is no paper,
If there is no paper, I put it like this,
No Christmas wish list for the kids.
No more J.O.B cause you couldnât get there
But no more J.S.A because they would take that away.
But if the people wonât work they canât feed their kids,
Cause government keep making cuts affecting.
The working class first, thereâll be first to get strapped first to react.
The uni students protest ainât got nothing on that.
Thatâs anarchy âcause everybody I know is an insurgent
If boy dem wanna run up on a boyment.
They better be sure, the toys they are storing
In preparation for this war is suitable for sustaining.
The artillery that every ghetto in the world has in abundance.
They better start runningâ¦
No matter what they say in the news or the newspapers everyday
You better be sure when the anarchy comes something stored away
When it all comes down, the towers and the covers get blown away
Better know how to react if it all collapse
It would happen all cause we couldnât sustain our mass consumption,
Itâs peak boy.
Itâs at peak oil, thatâs the level of oil at its peak
Means you can increase past that point you see.
I bet you they start drilling in Jamaica
Imagine they start drilling in Jamaica.
But all the drilling mean the earth canât take it.
The tectonic plates shift from all shaking.
Are we aware of the risk we are taking.
Sucking the earth dry like fellatio, Iâm guilty as sin for abusing.
My carbon footprint is bigger than my shoes is.
I better start putting some seeds in storage, but I canât plant anywhere,
Cause most of the soil is soured from the chemicals we sprayinâ from the air,
Chemtrails seen almost everywhere.
Got the worms so high that mean the birds that eat the worms canât fly.
That mean random species just die.
Pieces of the puzzle of our own crimes.
Cause we wonât stop until itâs all gone, then weâll ask what went wrong.
But we wonât have the telly to tell us what to do,
Weâd have to start working together like a human crew.
Like original man used to do.
Feed nourish wisdom
Feed nourish wisdom
Feed nourish wisdom
You better call some Ray Mears quick son
You better call some Bear Grylls instant
There is a war that no man is safe from
There is a war that no man is safe from
No matter what they say in the news or the newspapers everyday
You better be sure when the anarchy comes something stored away
When it all comes down, the towers and the covers get blown away
Better know how to react if it all collapse
