Lyrics Tankard – Octane Warriors

Text:

Roads deserted, and motors run cold
Civilization in lack of black gold
Nationwide the engines stand still
Energy crisis, we’re paying the bill

Year 2060
No fuel means war
The world is in upheaval
All empty reservoirs
OPEC embargoes
Inflation’s high
Refineries not working
And politicians lie

I’m trying to survive
Out in the desert wastelands
My memories are fading
How peaceful life once was

Chasing down highways
No food, just guns
Society is crumbling
So many on the run

Welcome to the oil-wars!
Welcome to the oil-wars! No flame — no game!
Welcome Octane Warriors!
Making our own laws — in high octane!

Gangs of marauders
Fight bloody fights
For gasoline and diesel
Mankind trapped in the night

I’m trying to survive
Out in the desert wastelands

My memories are fading
How peaceful life once was

Billions of barrels
The Saudis lost
Nobody can eat money
Greed causes higher costs

Welcome to the oil-wars!
Welcome to the oil-wars! No flame — no game!
Welcome Octane Warriors!
Making our own laws — in high octane!

Roads deserted, and motors run cold
Civilization in lack of black gold
Nationwide the engines stand still
Energy crisis, we-re paying the bill

Year 2060
No fuel means war
The world is in upheaval
All empty reservoirs

Welcome to the oil-wars!
Welcome to the oil-wars! No flame — no game!
Welcome Octane Warriors!
Making our own laws — in high octane!
Welcome to the oil-wars!
Welcome to the oil-wars! No flame — no game!
Welcome Octane Warriors!
Making our own laws — in high octane!
