Come gather close young leverets

and I’ll tell you a tale of woe

It’s all about man’s fall from grace

and his journey down below

It started out with Adam and Eve

but that you already know

So I’ll skip that part and here I’ll start;

Angels wielding flaming swords

stopped man’s return to paradise

for they knew well, to keep man out,

as he’d stay at far too high a price

Man’s mind thinks long and hard on this

and devises such a cunning plan

He’ll dig deep down to the depths of Earth

then resurface in the unspoiled land

 

And as he digs he discovers coal

which he burns for steam to speed his goal

soon he sees a precious sight,

diamonds that twinkle like starlight

then gold he finds, so pliable,

so fashionable, and valuable

and oil of which he burned as well

to power his way straight down to hell

 

 

Now the moral of this tale of woe

clean energy is the way to go

let’s create a paradise here on earth

and this prophecy will never see birth
