How long before water turns into oil?
punk political social roc
A solo punk band with songs ranging from politics to social issues to evolutionary biology.
Lacking any real musical talent, I decided to use Punk-o-Matic to create some generic punk backgrounds to the various songs I had written. Recorded at low quality through a computer microphone, the songs are not musical masterpieces but the lyrics are still strong. Give it a listen, you might enjoy it.

Lyrics
To a trickle, the faucet loses pressure Drawing from wells deeper, ever deeper The sun scorches the once fertile land A glaring, perching grim reaper Boiling puddles are all that’s left Of the reservoirs made of muck The roaring river’s appetite squelched The farmer is now out of luck Drying Up, the water’s gone-gone-gone Drying up, we can’t last long-long-long Drying up, oh so wrong-wrong-wrong Drying up-up-up-up-up-up-up Water, water, everywhere Yet nothing suitable to drink The saline oceans dehydrate The aquifers polluted to the brink As the country explodes with growth A population rising geometrically The strain chokes the small allotments That we all here expect for free Drying Up, the water’s gone-gone-gone Drying up, we can’t last long-long-long Drying up, oh so wrong-wrong-wrong Drying up-up-up-up-up-up-up Taken for granted, this basic compound The building block of life seeps further underground We fight for oil yet soon we’ll fight for it No longer shall we take it for granted Already so many are deprived Dirty or scarce, oh so many die Yet this is a problem we can fix Through conservation and better farming practices Drying Up, the water’s gone-gone-gone Drying up, we can’t last long-long-long Drying up, oh so wrong-wrong-wrong Drying up-up-up-up-up-up-up
