Who the Hell Are We?
Who the hell are we?
Who, who, who the hell are we?
Who, who, who the
Peak Oil
The world is beginning
To run out
Of hydrocarbon energy
All oil production
Always follows a bell curve
Once you pass the peak
You will never be able
To increase production again
The peak of production
Usually occurs about 40 years
After the peak of discovery
Global oil discoveries
Peaked in 1962
And they've been on a steady
Decrease ever since
And peak is here
Who the hell are we?
Egotistical, maniacal, self-centred
Sons of bitches
To believe that the whole
Universe revolves around us
The universe is laughing at us
Who, who, who the hell are we?
Who the hell are we?
Who, who, who the hell are we?
Okay, well listen I've got news for you
The world's falling apart now
They're having blackouts in China
9 or 10 governments are in emergency session
People are gonna freeze to death this winter
Economies are starting to collapse
The dispassionate universe
Is looking at the human race and saying
Either evolve or perish, we don't care
Life will go on without the human race
Who the hell are we?
Egotistical, maniacal, self-centred
Sons of bitches
To believe that the whole
Universe revolves around us
The universe is laughing at us
Who, who, who the hell are we?
We talk rather grandly
About saving the world
We don't have to save the world
The world's fine
The world has been through
Five periods of mass extinction
The world is big enough
To look after itself
What we have to be concerned about
Is whether or not
The world we live in
Will be capable
Of sustaining
Us in it
That's what we need to think about
The demand for infinite growth
Has just collided
With finite energy
Who the hell are we?
Self-centred
Who, who, who the hell are we?
The universe is laughing at us
Who the hell are we?
Egotistical
Who, who, who the hell are we?
This is our struggle
This is our life
This is our species
And I refuse to let
My species or its worth
In the universe
Be defined by the maniacs
That are driving this planet
Off a cliff
Nobody is as smart
As all of us together
Who, who, who the hell are we?
Who, who, who the
