what happens when we run out of crude, does anybody know?
Story behind the song
What began has pure word association ("elements" = hydrogen, oxygen; "style" = shirts, jewelry) became a surprising social commentary.
Lyrics
have you heard the news today
there is no more
didn't you hear that yesterday
there is no more
oxygen and hydrogen feed the human need
for neon lights & butan grills & cocktails kerosene
have you heard the news today
there is no more
didn't you hear that yesterday
there is no more
rayon shirts & nylon ropes bind the starving man
clear-cut every last strip mall to blind him is our plan
have you heard the news today
there is no more
didn't you hear that yesterday
there is no more
carbon & cages iron filled with woeful news
wear the death of ancient glades - don their amber hues
have you heard the news today
there is no more
didn't you hear that yesterday
there is no more
have you filled your tank today
there is no more
didn't you fill it yesterday
there is no more
