Lyrics
A million years ago God's creatures came to a prehistoric end
Killed by a meteoric crash into the earth, never to be heard or seen again
They died for future generations so we could have the fuel to drive
But there is just so much of black gold in the ground
So what 'cha gonna do when the well runs dry?
Nothing good can last forever - even this, one day, will pass
And then those dinosaurs will have their revenge
When we're killing each other for a tank of gas
We've made no plans and no provisions in case we run out of supply
I guess we'll be like those old horse and buggy days
Ooh when the well runs dry
Nothing good can last forever - even this, one day, will pass
And then those dinosaurs will have their revenge
When we're killing each other for a tank of gas
We're waging war against all nations - watching our sons and daughters die
So we can have a much more comfortable existence
But what 'cha gonna do when the well runs dry?
