Neil Younger - The Fuel
Of Cars to Come
Biofuel and electric cars
Are riding on the highway
They ride along, them all day
I can see them coming my way
CHORUS
Turn this bio mess into biomass
Energy from dung
I tell you I’m not being crass
It’s the fuel of cars to come
Oh the farmers of America are growing weed again
Oh the farmers of America are gathering shit from hens
We don’t need no power supply from the International Grid
They went home and grew their own instead
So let's have biofuel and electric cars
Riding on the highways
They ride along, them all day
They’ll be here by Friday
CHORUS
Turn this bio mess into biomass
Energy from dung
I tell you I’m not being crass
It’s the fuel of cars to come
If you use gasoline, it’s like a loaded gun
A killer mission of carbon emissions, produced by the ton
I tell it’s like a hurricane, a war that couldn’t
be won
With CO2 for me and you - the throttle pedal and the damage done
BRIDGE
Let’s have Biofuel and electric cars
Riding on our highways
Using fuel, made from hay
I hope I live to see the day
CHORUS
From bio mess to biomass
Energy from dung
I tell you I’m not being crass
It’s the fuel for cars to come
So the harvest moon, can’t come too soon,
A wake up call, before the fall
As we turn our backs and try to knap, in our trucks and jeeps
There’s a deafening silence no car horn beeps
And they say its just rust that never sleeps
I must admit that driving round in V8 was really nice
But now we’ve used up everything that was underground
I guess it’s no surprise
That now we’re after the gold rush, we're gonna pay the
god-damned price
BRIDGE
Biofuel and electric cars
Are riding on the highway
They ride along, them all day
I see them coming my way
CHORUS
Turn this bio mess into Biomass
Energy from dung
I tell you I’m not being crass
It’s the fuel of cars to come.
