מילים לשיר The Energy Blues – Various Artists

Energy . Sometimes I think I'm running out of energy
Seems like we use an awful lot for Heatin'and lightin'and drivin'
Readin' and writin' and jivin' Energy.You'd think we'd be saving it up.
Energy.You can get it by dammin' up a river
Energy.A windmill can make the breeze deliver
Our needs are so Much more demanding
But even with millin'and dammin'
For energy . We have to use some kind of fuel. Chop, chop, chop, the cavemen used wood to start their fires.
Chop, chop, chop, they made all the tools that they required.
Chop, chop, chop, inventions got more and more inspired.
The fires got higher and higher,
And clearings got wider and wider. Energy . They were burnin' 'bout all their wood up.
Miners dug, and it looked like it might just last forever.
Then one day men discovered that coal would do it better
It seemed like the final solution.
It started the Industrial Revolution.
Energy . We could just keep on diggin' it up. Now in 1859A man had built a rig that got some laughs from
folks who came there
But suddenly, a mighty roar came up from under
the ground.
And soon a gusher, gushing oil, soaked all who
stood around.
Now no one knew, when that gusher blew,
The petroleum years were on us,
Or that so many cars and trucks would come and
cause a crisis.
Energy. Exploring to try and make a new find.
Energy. We're looking to try and find some new kinds. Nuclear and thermal and solar,
If we miss we'll get colder and colder. Energy . We've gotta stop usin'you up.
So don't be cross when Mama says turn that extra light out.
Just turn it off till we find us a fuel that never runs out.
If everyone tries a bit harder,
Our fuel will go farther and farther.
Energy . we're gonna be stretchin'you out.
