Shut Down Songtext
von Fold

I think it′s fairly certain
That the mortal blow to human industrialized civilization
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 seven 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 root of all evil
And it is the love of money which has the potential
To exterminate, to render extinct the entire human race
