Only so Much Oil in the Ground - Tower Of Power

There is only so much oil in the ground

Sooner or later there won’t be much around

Tell that to your kids while you’re drivin' round downtown

That there’s only so much oil in the ground

We can’t cut loose without that juice

Can’t cut loose without that juice

If we keep on like we doing

Things for sure will not be cool

It’s a fact we just ain’t got sufficient fuel

Cause there’s only so much oil in the ground

Sooner or later there won’t be none around

Alternate sources of power must be found

Cause there’s only so much oil in the ground

Yes, there’s only so much oil in the earth

It’s a fact of life — for what it’s worth

Something every little girl and boy should know from birth

That there’s only so much oil in the earth

There’s no excuse for our abuse

No excuse for our abuse

We just assume that what we use

Will not exceed the oil supply

But soon enough the world will watch the wells run dry

There’s no excuse for our abuse

No excuse for our abuse

We just assume that what we use

Will not exceed the oil supply

But soon enough the world will watch the wells run dry

Cause there’s only so much oil in the ground

Sooner or later there won’t be none around

You can tell that to your children while you’re drivin' round downtown

That there’s only so much oil in the ground

And there’s only so much oil in the earth

Sooner than you think there’s gonna be a heavy duty dearth

And there won’t be too much time, for no merriment or mirth

Cause there’s only so much oil in the earth

We can’t cut loose without that juice

Can’t cut loose without that juice

If we keep on like we doing

Things for sure will not be cool

It’s a fact we just ain’t got sufficient fuel
