Think about the fat men who wear their slippers to drive their cars
While their machines are running, they won't walk very far
They never realise what they’ve got, one day they will lose the lot because

Chorus:
What's gonna happen when the buses don't run
And what’s gonna happen when the winter comes
What are you gonna do, what are you gonna do
When the oil runs out?
When the oil runs out

Think about the record industry they've released such a lot of
Self-indulgent pampered pop stars, back catalogue
It'll be far more drastic than no-more CD plastic because

Chorus:
What's gonna happen when the buses don't run
And what's gonna happen when the winter comes
What are you gonna do, what are you gonna do
When the oil runs out?

Are you prepared for such a drastic change of lifestyle?
You say "yeah" I don't believe you, look at your home the things that you own, the job that you work in, they all could go

Oh what about the tax exiles who live in the sun
When the oil runs out, they'll have no-where to run
And what about the comfortable people, who just can’t go without
They’re forever panic buying, in case things run out
They never realise what they've got, one day they will lose the lot because
Chorus:
What’s gonna happen when, cycling becomes a strain
And you need a drop of 3 in 1 on your bicycle chain
What are you gonna do, what are you gonna do
When the oil runs out?
When the oil runs out

Are you prepared for such a drastic change in lifestyle?
You say "yeah" I don't believe you, look at your home
The things that you own, the job that you work in they all could go
