[Intro] (Industrial hum, heavy machinery starting...) Power grids buzzing, the engines roar, The old oil barons ain't ruling no more! [Verse 1] Superpowers puffing up their chest, Kicking sand on neighbors, failing the test. With rusted claws they grab the stones, Leaving the little guys to break their bones. Buying up the gold with blood and fire, Greed is the fuel of the corporate empire! [Chorus] Bzzzt! The power hums and the motors roar! The old oil barons ain't ruling no more! When the barrel runs dry and the gas goes out, No use in crying or starting to shout! The minerals shine and the future is bright, Old empires fading away in the night! Old empires fading away in the night! [Verse 2] They block the small from being great, Building walls and locking the gate. But copper conducts and the batteries charge, No crown can save them when limits grow large! Though the sand blows wild and the weapons sing, Money can't buy what the future will bring! [Chorus] Bzzzt! The power hums and the motors roar! The old oil barons ain't ruling no more! When the barrel runs dry and the gas goes out, No use in crying or starting to shout! The minerals shine and the future is bright, Old empires fading away in the night! [Saxophone Solo & Hardcore Drop] (Aggressive, screeching jazz saxophone solo battling crushing 177 BPM hardcore techno bass kicks) [Chorus (Climax)] BZZZT! THE POWER HUMS AND THE MOTORS ROAR! THE OLD OIL BARONS AIN'T RULING NO MORE! WHEN THE BARREL RUNS DRY AND THE GAS GOES OUT, NO USE IN CRYING OR STARTING TO SHOUT! THE MINERALS SHINE AND THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT, OLD EMPIRES FADING AWAY IN THE NIGHT! OLD EMPIRES FADING AWAY IN THE NIGHT! [Outro] Buzzing... buzzing... it's happening now! They didn't get everything after all, haha! (Heavy bass drops out, fading techno synth)
