Keep the Oil in the Ground

[Intro]
We have a responsibility to our children
To make sure that the Earth keeps turning
There's no need for to keep the oil burning
So I'm calling out a warning, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
That this land is not for sale
The oceans are not for sale
The mountains are not for sale
Jah people are not for sale

[Chorus 1]
So keep the oil in the ground
Keep the oil in the ground
Keep the oil in the ground
Yeah, keep the oil in the ground
The oil in the ground, the oil in the ground, the oil in the ground

[Verse 2]
When will we learn?
Play with fire and we will get burned
We've had our turn
Now it's time for Mother Earth
We've got to give her the love that she deserves

[Pre-Chorus]
There's got to be a better way
There's got to be
There's got to be a better way
There's got to be
There's got to be a better way
There's got to be
There's got to be a better way
There's got to be

[Chorus 2]
So keep the oil in the ground
This is our life at stake
So find a new way
So keep the oil in the ground
This is our life at stake
So find a new way
So keep the oil in the ground
This is our life at stake
So find a new way
Keep the oil in the ground
The oil in the ground, the oil in the ground, the oil in the ground
