lyrics

Outside - strong winds are blowing
but inside - nothing's going
No light - nothing to turn on
as we shelter from the storm

No heat - No power
A warm fridge - the milk'll go sour
lightning flashes illuminates the sky
like the twinkle of an eye

And do we know what we been missing
while we've been living off what we keep pissing away

Turn off the electricity
try out a new reality
Take a look and see what its gonna
be like in a future where we've bled the oil dry

Ay ay ay

Turn off the Electricity
wake up the creativity
that's laying dormant
in your sleeping mind

come on and give it a try

Turn off the electricity (x2)

And its hard to see just where to begin
while we're all still just pissing into the wind

(Flick the switch, and nothing turns on
then it hits me - like a bomb
The clothes that i'm wearing - how do they make it?
The bread i eat - how do they cook it?

Look, i don't know how to do anything with my hands
How to build? How to sew? How to grow food? How to survive
In nature but i feel my heart yearn
Maybe its time I started to learn)

And do we know what we'll be missing
while we keep sucking up what we've been pissing away

Chorus
