Lyrics Collapse - Speech Debelle

Collapse

Imagine there was no more oil, and I don’t mean olive
I mean the type of oil where the B.P.
spill is
The kind of oil they drill into earth’s crust for
The kind they drill the land and the seas for
The kind that got Alfayed his Harrods
The kind they go to war and presidents vanish
The kind that couldn’t heat your house when it’s colder
We all want to go back to Ethiopia
But we all couldn’t get there
Cause no cars, no trains, no planes would be running
No staff, no guards, and no summit couldn’t stop it
No G8 couldn’t lie cause it was happening
No way to get around it, only through it
We’d live of potatoes like the Irish famine, yeah it would be dread
Civil unrest cause the ones who couldn’t harvest they wouldn’t get fed
We’d be strapped like the feds
Trying to protect our patch cabbage over the garden fence
Bartering with food, money will be gold
The new world order I suppose
It would begin when the banks start closing
They call that a recession cause money is just paper
It’s only representation of oil so if there is no oil then there is no paper
If there is no paper, I put it like this
No Christmas wish list for the kids
No more J.O.B cause you couldn’t get there
But no more J.S.A because they would take that away
But if the people won’t work they can’t feed their kids
Cause government keep making cuts affecting
The working class first, there’ll be first to get strapped first to react
The uni students protest ain’t got nothing on that
That’s anarchy ‘cause everybody I know is an insurgent
If boy dem wanna run up on a boyment
They better be sure, the toys they are storing
In preparation for this war is suitable for sustaining
The artillery that every ghetto in the world has in abundance
They better start running…
No matter what they say in the news or the newspapers everyday
You better be sure when the anarchy comes something stored away
When it all comes down, the towers and the covers get blown away
Better know how to react if it all collapse
It would happen all cause we couldn’t sustain our mass consumption
It’s peak boy
It’s at peak oil, that’s the level of oil at its peak
Means you can increase past that point you see
I bet you they start drilling in Jamaica
Imagine they start drilling in Jamaica
But all the drilling mean the earth can’t take it
The tectonic plates shift from all shaking
Are we aware of the risk we are taking
Sucking the earth dry like fellatio, I’m guilty as sin for abusing
My carbon footprint is bigger than my shoes is
I better start putting some seeds in storage, but I can’t plant anywhere
Cause most of the soil is soured from the chemicals we sprayin' from the air
Chemtrails seen almost everywhere
Got the worms so high that mean the birds that eat the worms can’t fly
That mean random species just die
Pieces of the puzzle of our own crimes
Cause we won’t stop until it’s all gone, then we’ll ask what went wrong
But we won’t have the telly to tell us what to do
We’d have to start working together like a human crew
Like original man used to do
Feed nourish wisdom
Feed nourish wisdom
Feed nourish wisdom
You better call some Ray Mears quick son
You better call some Bear Grylls instant
There is a war that no man is safe from
There is a war that no man is safe from
No matter what they say in the news or the newspapers everyday
You better be sure when the anarchy comes something stored away
When it all comes down, the towers and the covers get blown away
Better know how to react if it all collapse
