(Yawn!)
Energy!
Sometimes I think I’m runnin’ out of…
Energy!
Seems like we use an awful lot for…
Heatin’ and lightin’ and drivin’,
Readin’ and writin’ and jivin’…
Energy!
You’d think we’d be savin’ it up.
Energy!
You can get it by dammin’ up a river.
Energy!
A windmill can make the breeze deliver.
But even with millin’ and dammin’,
Our needs are so much more demandin’,
For energy,
We have to use some kind of fuel.
Chop! Chop! Chop!
The cavemen used wood to start their fires.
Chop! Chop! Chop!
They made all the tools that they required.
Chop! Chop! Chop!
Inventions got more and more inspired.
The fires got higher and higher,
And clearings got wider and wider.
Energy!
They were burnin’ ’bout all their wood up.
Then one day,
Men discovered that coal would do it better.
Miners dug!
And it looked like it might just last forever.
It seemed like the final solution,
Energy!
We could just keep on diggin’ it up.
