lyrics

When the oil is gone

Verse 1
When the oil is gone
Where will we be
Will we have another day
If there’s no more fishing in the sea
Can we do much else than pray
Or will we find another way
To generate our energy
When the oil is gone
Where will we be from now

Verse 2
When the cold is gone
Where will we be
Will we have another day
When there’s no more skiing on the hills
Can we do much else than pray
For will it not be long before
They’re growing dates in Aviemore
When the cold is gone
Where will we be from now

Chorus
We must all accept
That change is going to happen
And it will affect
The children of us all
But it’s is not too late
To stop this thing from happening
If we all unite
And the wisdom can be found
And if we see the light
Hopefully we’ll turn it all around
