The oil will peak, it is soon the time
But no use to freak, a solution's to find
It's Fischer-Tropsch the synthesis for making fuels, it's tried -
from syngas made from garbage - that is gasified
that is gasified -

Add another CO on the carbon tree
Grow the alkane chain, making gasoline
Spice it with the hydrogen at four-hundred C -
With the iron catalyst as chain-reaction free
then condense the stuff
the yield is enough
to produce energy -
it's increasing length of chain on hydrocarbon tree!

You Mid East guys, must learn quick
to learn to drink your crude oil, we won't buy a slick
We'll make our fuel domestic now and we need yours no more
A single barrel jihad juice, we'll close the imports door -
We'll even up the score -

Add another CO on the carbon tree
Grow the alkane chain, making gasoline
Spice it with the hydrogen at four-hundred C -
With the iron catalyst as chain-reaction free
then condense the stuff
the yield is enough
to produce energy -
it's increasing length of chain on the hydrocarbon tree

Now the Western world is cheering
as we get ourselves free
- just add another CO on the carbon tree!
We're free at last!
