When the oil stops, everything stops
|
Nothin' left in the fountain
|
Nobody wants paper money, son
|
So you just as well stop countin'
|
Can ya break the horse, can ya light the fire?
|
What’s that, I beg your pardon?
|
You’d best start thinkin' where your food comes from
|
And I hope you tend a good garden
|
Gettin' down on the mountain
|
Gettin' down on the mountain
|
Don’t wanna be around when the shit goes down
|
I’ll be gettin' down on the mountain
|
When the truck don’t run, the bread wont' come
|
Have a hard time findin' petrol
|
Water ain’t runnin' in the city no more
|
Do ya hold any precious metal?
|
Can you gut the fish, can you read the sky?
|
What’s that about overcrowdin'?
|
Ya ever seen a man who’s kids ain’t ate
|
For seventeen days and countin'?
|
Gettin' down on the mountain
|
Gettin' down on the mountain
|
Don’t wanna be around when the shit goes down
|
I’ll be gettin' down on the mountain
|
There ain’t no heat and the power’s gone out
|
It’s kerosene lamps and candles
|
The roads are blocked, it’s all gridlocked
|
You got a shortwave handle?
|
Can ya track the deer, can ya dig the well?
|
I couldn’t quite hear your answer
|
I think I see a rip in the social fabric
|
Brother can you spare some ammo?
|
Gettin' down on the mountain
|
Gettin' down on the mountain
|
Don’t wanna be around when the shit goes down
|
I’ll be goin' to ground on the mountain
|
When the oil stops, everything stops
|
Nothin' left in the fountain
|
Nobody wants paper money, son
|
So you just as well stop countin'
|
Can ya break the horse, can ya light the fire?
|
What’s that, I beg your pardon?
|
I think I see a rip in the social fabric
|
Brother can you spare some ammo?
|
Gettin' down on the mountain
|
Gettin' down on the mountain
|
Don’t wanna be around when the shit goes down
|
I’ll be gettin' down on the mountain
|
Gettin' down on the mountain
|
Gettin' down on the mountain
|
Don’t wanna be around when the shit goes down
|
I’ll be goin' to ground on the mountain
|
Gettin' down on the mountain |
