The lights are on, but you're not home
You're wasting power - you ain't alone
An' drivin' round in your Humvee
More g.p.m. than m.p.g.

The TVs on, the air con too
So tell me what you tryin' to do?
You love to drive, you love to fly
I hate to tell ya, Bud, that's why:

You don't conserve it, you're just lettin' it boil, oh yeah
You've had life good, but now it's startin' to spoil, you know
You're gonna have to face it you're addicted to oil

The prices rise, we still don't see
No increase in efficiency
And ever more, more oil burns
Giving Exxon higher returns - nobody learns

To cage the beast
Buy power from the Middle East
And the more power you have to buy
Gives power to the other guy

The guys you buy from, don't they make you recoil, oh yeah
You try and change your ways and stop pollutin' the soil, but
You're gonna have to face it you're addicted to oil


Might as well face it you're addicted to oil
Even Bush says it, you're addicted to oil
Always have to chase it, you're addicted to oil
No, you can't replace it, you're addicted to oil
