Beware the Savage Jaws of 2024

Diamond Bits

The Drilling Fields.

Balancing Act on a Bowie Knife's Edge

(Reprised from Diamond Dogs' 1984)

Now that fracking's over, by passage of decree

All the oil is gotten, it's damage still to be

You've burned it for your autos, I-phones and A/C 

So

Beware the savage jaws of 2024.

They've split your empty cranium, and filled it with hot air 

 And just like 1980, you think there's time to spare,

 You're still shooting up on anything, Big Pharma's everywhere

But

 Beware the savage jaws of 2024.

You'll see, you'll be, "Where's my EV?"

We've fracked all the oil and mined the coal

You said it would last, then we'll drill at the Pole

By 2024 (we'll still drill for more)

2024 (we'll drill drill drill for mor-or-or-or-ore)

(Mor-or-or-or-ore)

I need to fill my vehicle, I need to fuel my ride

I'll support whichever Party will frack the countryside

I'll be grooving on the frisson of one last jeremiad

So

Beware the savage jaws of 2024!

You'll see, you'll be, "Where's my EV?"

We've fracked the oil, flared all the gas

You said it would last, but the Peak has passed

By 2024 (we'll still drill for more)

In 2024 (we'll drill drill drill for mor-or-or-or-ore)

(Mor-or-or-or-ore).

Oh kneel: The Fireman Cometh

BioMassIncineration: Flaring the Forests.
Bye-bye, Oh Diversity.
