Been through mass destruction once But once was not enough Said we want a second chance And all they say is tough A world where science went too far There's no way to survive. Why can't we get this thing straightened out I want to stay alive
They burned and bombed the east and north And there's no place left to go The sun belt overcrowded So let's annex Mexico The peso's only worth a dime But think of all that land No need for a civil war We know they'll understand, right?
Is that how you like it?
Factories left unattended Crumbling to the ground We tried to keep them running out But there's no more oil around We used it to fight a war That neither side could win Vietnam was little league Compared to where we've been
Now we lives in caves and huts And we don't have pay TV And everyone is signing up For the newest industry Standard oil goes solar power All try to make a buck So I'll sit around and smoke cigarettes And I'll babble "What the fuck?"
