Only so Much Oil in the Ground

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 driving '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.

 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 kids while you driving '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
