When the Wheels Don't Move |
| Who’ll work the assembly line? |
| Who’ll pull the freight on time? |
| Who’ll work the all night haul? |
| Who’ll explain it all when the wheels don’t move? |
| Bigger chariots didn’t save Rome |
| Easy money didn’t stay at home |
| They said the iron horse would always roam |
| Who’ll tell the children when the wheels don’t move? |
| Man’s power over nature |
| Hubris and greed let the fossil fuels burn |
| No way to keep the wings in flight |
| When the turbine engines don’t move |
| Going green a casino catch phrase |
| Ethanol’s made of smoke and mirrors |
| Who makes the decision to feed the tanks |
| And not the mouths when the wheels don’t move? |
| When the wheels don’t move |
| Red planet as salvation |
| Divine hope turns to depredation |
| Who’ll be left to make that station? |
| Devoid of God and nation we trust |
| The wheels don’t move |
| When wheels don’t move |
| When the wheels don’t move |
| When the wheels don’t move |
