Certainly quotable lyrics and timely... I like to go back a few years to one of my favorite bands.... Tool... Aenima-
Mom's coming around soon...... Mom's gonna put it back the way it outta be....

And to the 80% of the people living on or near the coasts.......

I see what you mean...

Cuz I'm praying for rain
And I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom please flush it all away.
I wanna see it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away

much better one to my mind (ole hippy speaking here) would have been Barry McGuires Eve of Destruction...also recorded by the Turtles and the Byrds.

The eastern world, it is exploding
Violence flarin’, bullets loadin’
You’re old enough to kill, but not for votin’
You don’t believe in war, but what’s that gun you’re totin’
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin’

But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve
of destruction.

Don’t you understand what I’m tryin’ to say
Can’t you feel the fears I’m feelin’ today?
If the button is pushed, there’s no runnin’ away
There’ll be no one to save, with the world in a grave
[Take a look around ya boy, it's bound to scare ya boy]

And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve
of destruction.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he Peak Oil Song
http://www.kriscan.com/archives/38

Here it comes
Oops!
There it goes
When we’ll find out – nobody knows!

That sweet black oil bubblin up from the ground
Has a short ass lifespan and we’ve no other plan
To move our cars and grow our food
to heat our homes
without that crude!

Peak oil peak oil peak oil
Why we still thinking nothings ever gonna change?
Technology won’t save us, but that ain’t so strange
Considering all the oil it takes to produce
All the objects we take for granted, even our freakin’ juice

So we keep on growing the corn
While killing our fertile soil
Hoping to find the fuel
to keep us from more turmoil
we keep on gassing our SUVs
While the oil wars wage overseas
Waiting for others to fix this thing
Is time misspent
It’s time to grow our things

Take this time to find out
Don’t rely on the mass media’s doubt
Learn how to get involved
Don’t wait for our planet to evolve
We’ve got a few years left to make things straight
Don’t let our apathy become our fate
Start with your lawn and plant some seeds
Grow your food to see how it feeds
Without the oil we can all get along
Make sure your community is healthy and strong

We might be going back in time
To a world we thought we’d left behind
Big changes are coming
Be prepared
But don’t get frightended
Don’t get scared

We need you strong
We’ll need your smarts
So reach down deep inside your hearts
And spread the word that we need to change
Then maybe peak oil won’t be so strange

That Chris Rea song, The Road to Hell is my pick for Peak Oil song.

Great video! It captures the feeling that we are on this horrible highway to disaster very nicely.

I'm going to buy it!

The lyrics of this one aren't particularly relevant but I think the tune and theme of the song capture the mood of PO.

It's called the Island by an Irish artist - Paul Brady. Enjoy.
