What Are We Going To Do When The Oil Runs Out?
<chou badna naamol lamma el naft yekhlass>

We live in a land of riches
Run by a culture that is old
All is fine, as long as there’s no hitches
To the finite supply of man’s black gold.

One day the truth will out
Try to understand what all the fuss is about
Allah has US over a barrel, the Yanks have no clout
What we going to do when the oil runs out?

What we going to do when the oil runs out?

No more four by fours for your city runabout
We’re going to be in trouble, no shred of a doubt
We’ll be in a sticky mess
But all the oil’s run out

Only a fool would use up fossil fuels

Like a Dodo on an island without a survival instinct
We are so not primal, we're just recent arrivals watch us go - species extinct

Oh what we going to do when the oil runs out?
