The energy blues
Yawn
Energy
Sometimes I think I'm running out of energy
Seems like we use an awful lot for
Heatin'and lightin'and drivin'
Readin' and writin' and jivin'
Energy
You'd think we'd be saving it up
Energy
You can get it by dammin' up a river
Energy
A windmill can make the breeze deliver
But even with millin'and dammin'
Our needs are so much more demanding
For energy
We have to use some kind of fuel
Chop

Chop
The cavemen used wood to start their fires
Chop
Chop
Chop
They made all the tools that they required
Chop
Chop
Chop
Inventions got more and more inspired
The fires got higher and higher
And clearings got wider and wider
Energy
They were burnin' 'bout all their wood up
Then one day men discovered that coal would do it better
Miners dug
And it looked like it might just last forever
It seemed like the final solution
It started the industrial revolution
Energy
We could just keep on diggin' it up
Now in 1859 way out in western pennsylvania
A man had built a rig that got some laughs from
Folks who came there
But suddenly
A mighty roar came up from under
The ground
And soon a gusher
Gushing oil
Soaked all who
Stood around
Now no one knew
When that gusher blew
The petroleum years were on us
Or that so many cars and trucks would come and
Cause a crisis
Energy
We're looking to try and find some new kinds
Energy
Exploring to try and make a new find
Nuclear and thermal and solar
If we miss we'll get colder and colder
Energy
We've gotta stop usin'you up
So don't be cross when mama says turn that extra light out
Just turn it off till we find us a fuel that never runs out
If everyone tries a bit harder
Our fuel will go farther and farther
Energy
We're gonna be stretchin'you out
