Eric Michael Jones No Gasoline
Who needs this continental overkill?
We got trains that are rusting on the tracks
Who cares if you build a better oil drill
It’s too late the knife is hanging in our backs
We got mud on our faces, blood on our hands
No money in our pockets ‘cause we can’t afford to live this way
Your supply can’t keep up with our demand
There’s no juice in the socket but we still got lots of bills to pay
Pull down the windows and lock the doors
Close the curtain they’ll be peeking through the cracks
Get food and move your family underground
Put on the suit and get ready for attack
Because there’s only one way to get the things you need
Use a little force and a little bit of sabotage
We’re only human beings we move at human speed
I got a car but it’s sitting out in my garage …rusting
We got no gasoline, we used up all the oil
We got no sympathy ‘cause you used up all our trust
It’s a bad situation blood’s beginning to boil
We got no transportation; we’re trying to adjust
Lights out all across the USA
The White House is sitting in the black
Too bad, they thought of it a bit too late
The bigger pigs are drowning in their fat
People are starving and you’d let ‘em eat cake
You might think it’s funny but there ain’t nobody laughing now
Mr. Moneybags you just made a big mistake
Because we don’t need you anyhow
We got no gasoline, we used up all the oil
We got no sympathy ‘cause you used up all our trust
It’s a bad situation blood’s beginning to boil
We got no transportation and we’re trying to adjust
Bring back the twentieth century
You know I can’t take this very much longer
This gasoline fantasy is fading into history
Our will is getting weaker and our legs are getting stronger
