What're you gonna do when the oil's all gone

When you flick that switch and nothing comes on

Jump in your car, it won't even cross the yard

Alternative energy proved too hard

Me, i'm starting to stink, i can't wash my clothes

Welcome to the future, but hold your nose

Go to bed early 'cos i ain't got a light

From where i'm stumbling the future don't look bright

We threw it all away [x2]

What're you gonna do when the oil's all gone

When you flick that switch and nothing comes on

I can't even make a joke tonight

Will the last person on earth turn out the light

We threw it all away [x2]
