about

Set in a future and looking back to the way we live today.

lyrics

There was a time when things weren’t the same as today
We led a shrink-wrapped life, had a piper to pay
Full Gas, full DERV
The race was on
First come, first served
Till it was gone

There was a time we could fly across the ocean
Drive to where we wanted to be
We lit the flame then we just left it burning
All the time
Everything
When oil was King

When the tanks had run dry and the heating turned cold
Before it cost us the Earth, we took heed what we’re told
Rain falls, trees grow
And rivers run
Sun shines, winds blow
And we go on.

There was a time we could fly across the ocean
Drive to where we wanted to be
We lit the flame then we just left it burning
All the time
Everything
When oil was King

Instrumental Bridge

There was a time we could fly across the ocean
Drive to where we wanted to be
We lit the flame then we just left it burning
All the time
Everything
When oil was King


When oil was King
When oil was King
When oil was King
