Imagine there was no more oil, and I don’t mean olive I mean the type of oil where the B.P. spill is The kind of oil they drill into earth’s 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 couldn’t heat your house when it’s colder We all want to go back to Ethiopia But we all couldn’t get there Cause no cars, no trains, no planes would be running No staff, no guards, and no summit couldn’t stop it No G8 couldn’t lie cause it was happening No way to get around it, only through it We’d live of potatoes like the Irish famine, yeah it would be dread Civil unrest cause the ones who couldn’t harvest they wouldn’t get fed We’d 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 It’s 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 couldn’t get there But no more J.S.A because they would take that away But if the people won’t work they can’t feed their kids Cause government keep making cuts affecting The working class first, there’ll be first to get strapped first to react The uni students protest ain’t got nothing on that That’s anarchy ‘cause 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 running… 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 couldn’t sustain our mass consumption It’s peak boy It’s at peak oil, that’s 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 can’t take it The tectonic plates shift from all shaking Are we aware of the risk we are taking Sucking the earth dry like fellatio, I’m guilty as sin for abusing My carbon footprint is bigger than my shoes is I better start putting some seeds in storage, but I can’t plant anywhere Cause most of the soil is soured from the chemicals we sprayin’ from the air Chemtrails seen almost everywhere Got the worms so high that mean the birds that eat the worms can’t fly That mean random species just die Pieces of the puzzle of our own crimes Cause we won’t stop until it’s all gone, then we’ll ask what went wrong But we won’t have the telly to tell us what to do We’d 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 [x2]
