Fossil Fools Lyrics

We're the masters of the universe

The lords of energy

Extracting power from the Earth

Mining land and sea

On an economic mission

Where growth and profits rule

Are we brilliant techno wizards

Or crazy fossil fools

Ooh were pumping out

Ooh we're squeezing out

Ooh we're fracking out

Ooh we're blasting out

Every little piece we can

From the ocean depths to the desert sands

Disappearing old growth forests

Thawing ice and snow

Extinct and dwindling wild life

With no place left to go

Fires flood drought and famine

Spreading far and wide

Foam and plastic islands

Drifting with tide

Ooh we're blowing out

Ooh we're drilling out

Ooh we're crushing out

Ooh we're shipping out

Every little piece we can

From the ocean depths to the desert sands

Greenhouse gas and toxic waste

Pervade the biosphere

Depleted soil and corporate farms

And food we engineer

Bleaching pristine coral reefs

And rivers running dry

Transport fumes and smoky haze

Blanketing the sky

Ooh we're cutting out

Ooh we're burning out

Ooh we're fishing out

Ooh were sucking out

Every little piece we can

From the ocean depths to the desert sands

Our teeming plague of humans

Is bursting at the seams

We've overshot most everything

With our parasitic schemes

Times running out but what the heck

Who cares what we lose

The future's still so far away

And there's much more to abuse

Ooh we're churning out

Ooh we're crunching out

Ooh we're cashing out

Ooh we're smashing out

Every little piece we can

From the ocean depths to the desert sands

On our economic mission

Where growth and profit rule

Are we brilliant techno wizards

Or deluded fossil fools
