Oil Talking to Ya

Oil Talking to Ya - David Wilcox

There will be beautiful lives

Lived out full and long

Long after the transition when the oil is gone

There will be gardens green

There will be houses warm

Good livelihoods providing for the hearth and home

So when depression seeps

Through the cracks of grief

Hopelessness will speak

From the dark and deep

That's just the oil talking to ya

Says you got no choice

That's just the oil talking to ya

But there's a brighter voice

Now there's a brighter voice

There's a brighter voice

There will be kitchens full

There will be parties loud

And dinner conversations with the neighbor crowd

There will be bright ideas

On how to get things done

Good time to raise a family and time for fun

So when depression seeps

Through the cracks of grief

Hopelessness will speak

Through the dark and deep

Don't you know

That's just the oil talking to ya

Saying you got no choice

That's just the oil talking to ya

But there's a brighter voice

Now there's a brighter voice

When the old fear clips you from the dark full of screen

And the hope that creeps through from the dark and deep

When it's a pride or manhood

Start the next big war

You feel a cruel commander

Like you did before

That's just the oil talking to ya

So what ya whisperin'

Right now it's harder to hear

Over the huxleyan toys

Breaking down from the vibration of the engine noise

But there's a world outside

That we have still not seen

Because we're busy being driven by the old machine

We see the same old news upon the same old screen

That's just the oil talking to ya

Sayin' you got no choice

That's just the oil talking to ya

But there's a brighter voice

That's just the oil talking to ya

Sayin' you got no choice

That's just the oil talking to ya

But there's a brighter voice

Now there's a brighter voice

Oh oh
