lyrics

Swiftly the ice is conceding defeat
The river of life is commencing retreat
Melting until just a trickle remains
It'll take millions of years to get flowing again
Its a shame

Oil, love and oxygen
Are the things we burn
On which we depend
Is it my concern?
Oil, love and oxygen

Massive extinction, event number six
Another species just drops off the list
When it can't adapt to the rate of this change
The children of men are fanning the flames
We are to blame

Oil, love and oxygen
Are the things we burn
On which we depend
Is it my concern?

The famous north west passage is open at the same time as the passage in the north east
Its the first time this event has happened in a hundred and twenty five thousand years at least
Its gonna cut four thousand miles off the journey from Germany to Japan
But we're still a ship of fools looking for oil, love and oxygen

My silence will not protect me
My silence will not protect me
My silence will not protect me

Oil, love and oxygen
Are the things we burn
On which we depend
Is it my concern
If these things should end?
