The Oil Age

You got your stone age
You got your bronze age
You got your iron age
And we're living in the oil age

The situation here is drastic
We're making things out of plastic
Paving everything with asphalt
Everybody's saying it's not my fault
We're living in the oil age

We're living in the oil age
Living in the oil age
Built ourselves a plastic cage
Living in the oil age

It's an environment emergency
A matter of the greatest urgency
Still the people just refuse to see
What we are doing to the land and sea
Living in the oil age

We're living in the oil age
Living in the oil age
Built ourselves a plastic cage
Living in the oil age

Your hydrocarbons and your acid rain
So much to lose and so little gained
Ask yourself is it really worth
Killing everything alive on Earth...
Living in the oil age

We're living in the oil age
Living in the oil age
Sealed ourselves in a plastic cage
Living in the oil age

You got your stone age
You got your bronze age
You got your iron age
And we're living in the oil age
