I think it’s fairly certain
That the mortal blow
Of human industrialised civilisation
Will happen when oil prices spike again
And nobody can afford to buy that oil
And everything will just shut down
All plastic is oil
Most paints
All pesticides are made from oil
Everything from toothpaste
To toothbrushes is made from oil
There are 7 gallons of oil in every tire
There is nothing anywhere
In any combination
That will replace the edifice
Built by fossil fuels
Nothing
And everything will just shut down
When the mainstream press
And the government says
Nobody could have predicted this
They’re lying through their fucking teeth
The love of money
Is the route of all evil
And it is the love of money
Which has the potential
To exterminate, to render extinct
The entire human race
Shut down
