David Wilcox - Oil Talking to Ya lyrics

rate me

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
