Oil Talking to Ya Song Lyrics

Oil Talking to Ya by David Wilcox

There will be beautiful lives lived out full and long
Long after the transition, when the oil is gone
There will be gardens green, there will be houses warm
Good livelihoods providing for the hearth and home

(Pre-Chorus)
So when depression seeps
Through the cracks of grief
Hopelessness will speak
From the dark and deep

(Verse)
There will be kitchens full and parties loud
Inviting conversations with the neighbor crowd
There will be bright ideas, ways to get things done
Good time to raise a family and time for fun

(Pre-Chorus)
So when depression seeps
Through the cracks of grief
Hopelessness will speak
From the dark and deep

(Chorus)
That’s just the oil talking to ya
It says you got no choice
That’s just the oil talking to ya
But there’s a brighter voice

(Instrumental break)

(Pre-Chorus)
When depression seeps
Through the cracks of grief
Hopelessness will speak
From the dark and deep

(Interlude)
When it’s a pride or manhood
Start the next big war
You feel a cruel commander
Like you did before
That’s just the oil talking to ya
So what ya whisperin’ for?

(Verse)
Right now it’s harder to hear over the Huxleyan toys
Breaking down from the vibration of the engine noise
But there’s a world outside that we have still not seen
Because we’re busy being driven by the old machine
We see the same old news upon the same old screen

(Chorus)
That’s just the oil talking to ya
It says you got no choice
That’s just the oil talking to ya
But there’s a brighter voice
