Hey Louisiana they're trying to wash you away
While Iraq is crumbling down on the very same day
Gasoline's a fashion, it's all the rage
One day we'll all remember the Petrol-e-oleum Age

The temperature is high and it's hell on the ice
And sooner or later we're gonna have to pay the price
The ocean's gonna rise when the ice caps get razed
It'll all go down in the Petrol-e-oleum Age

It started way back before the First World War
The combustion engine started the first car
The wise called it the future and sounded so sage
They said let's all move into the Petrol-e-oleum Age

Then as time moved on and the future looked so bright
Lawnmowers, race cars, and planes up in the sky
Another use for oil was found most every day
The Industrial Revolution and the Petrol-e-oleum Age

My car that I drive may one day not go
When oil from the ground ceases to flow
In eternal time one day we'll turn the page
That says no more fuel for the Petrol-e-oleum Age

'Cause there's only so much oil left in the ground
And sooner or later we're gonna hit that fixed amount
And then we'll have to think and use our heads to find new ways
To get from A to B after the Petrol-e-oleum Age

Lady Liberty carries her torch up so high
And out in California it's warm and it's dry
And next it's down in Texas, someone's frying in a cage
It's all a big explosion, the Petrol-e-oleum Age

The Stone Age, the Dark Age, the Bronze Age, and the Jazz
So many ages history has
One day if we survive a teacher might say
Class open up your books to the Petrol-e-oleum Age

I've recorded a lot of John Lennon's songs, and feel like I could keep working on them for the rest of my life, but I felt I should share one for John's 82nd birthday.

Happy birthday John & thanks for all the inspiration
