lyrics
FOSSIL FOOLERY
Free fall and down!
The structure start to shuffle/crumble.
Falling down, falling down, we will see the ground!
Free fall and down!
A few barrels for a battle.
Running out, running out, just leave it in the ground!
Peak oil in town
and with a planet that gets hotter
they want us to crack all the sky;
to see if we can steal just one more time.
Draining off
of a treasure, without measure,
cos long time ago we forgot
what's the limit to make little plastic soldiers.
Don't you think it's time to put a stop?
Free fall and down! The structure start to....
Bad Wolf in town!
And when the people start to stand up
to take their lives in their hands
a bunch of greedy oily chiefs take us down.
But time is off now.
We will take action no matter how much they want to take us down.
We'll make a Fossil Fool party
while making/building the new world!
'Eco-terrorists!" "Eco-fascists!" "Bunch of petulant hippies!" "C'mon, get a job!"
You seem so concerned about us..
But while you are counting our fingers, honey,
we all are burning out.
Who do you think are gonna save us?
Little plastic soldiers? (I don't think so!)
Ooooh! You, fossil fool! You're a fossil fool! (Yes, you are)
Fever for black gold, breaking the ground, diggin' my life.
Digging, digging, digging... Till the hole reaches the soul.
Fever for black gold, breaking the ground, hitting my life.
Hitting, hitting, hitting here... Was it worth it after all?
Oooh! You, fossil fool! You're a fossil fool! (yes, you are)
Oooh! You, fossil fool! You're a fossil fool! (but baby, we all are)
Free fall and down! Down! Down!
