Angry Bear Rome lyrics

Rome

Every living thing is, regardless of name, related to the energy source that the parents consumed to create it.
In every case we seem to find decline when the corresponding source grows hard to find.
But petroleum's babies locate and depend on fuels born of fossils whose limits know ends.

And, so like Rome, we'll find out.

Capital bore on its golden shoulders creation;

the opportunity for and the birth of this civilization;
a unique case for a specialized mankind;
a spec in space where knowledge may unwind.
But monopolist barons grew too in this soil with avarice ampler and thicker than oil.

Maybe we wouldn't've given up if we hadn't.
