lyrics

Keep the oil in the ground

Keep the oil in the ground
Leave the land with the people who respect it
First nations, guardians of the earth
Keepers of the sacred.
When will enough be enough?
Don't take, don't take, don't keep on taking

All to keep a bloated economy growing
All to keep the weapons factories going
All to keep the people trapped in a system addicted to consumption
Rushing headlong for destruction

Don't keep on taking - when will enough be enough?

All to try and stop the people thinking
Feeling, finding new ways of being
All to keep the power in the institutions, so they can control the revolutions

But life could be so easy, and we could have heaven on earth

Keep the oil in the ground
Keep the weapons unmade
Keep the wars unfought
Keep the oil in the ground, keep the gold in the ground, the uranium in the ground

Don't take, Don't keep on taking
