NOT SCARED OF YOU
(Original song by Adam Kidd, additional music and arrangement Kiyomori.)

This life's amazing
The world turns full circle every 24 hours
So what are you waiting for you morons?
Change your tune we've had enough

You can do what you want!
We're not scared of you
We're not scared of you
You can do what you want!
We're not scared of you
We're not scared of you now

All the fuel is burning
Holes in our very skies
So that you can keep on making money
Well In fifty years you will have died

Notes: Adam: I was trying to write something a bit more positive as Ben had been complaining that all my songs were a bit on the dark and miserable side. I do find it difficult. It's not that I'm a particularly depressing person, I love to party, but I like to listen to music that sounds honest and genuine, I like to play music that I can get worked up about and perhaps unfortunately the thong song isn't it!
Not Scared Of You is about hope for the future and the end of oil dominance. With oil reserves reaching critical and the price up to something like £6 a gallon (I'm no driver so I may be wrong on that one) surely it's only a matter of time before they are forced to put in the infrastructure for hydrogen cars. Fuel Cells were invented in 1839, believe it or not and I've heard that General Motors have been sitting on patents that could have brought us hydrogen powered cars over fifty years ago- but then they would have missed out on the huge profits of the fuel price hike!
Maybe it was a bit of wishful thinking but I was kind of saying in fifty years the old oil barons will be dead and the fuel reserves will be pretty much gone too. It seems safe to say that the companies involved have safe guarded themselves for the future though, they own the patents and they have the money to make the change, but at least the change will have to happen.
Watch out for this new 'charge by the mile' plan on British roads too. On the one hand there's the Orwellian nightmare of the government having a box in your car that tells them everywhere you go and on the other it's there way of ensuring they have tax revenue on a car that uses very little fuel - General Motors Precept concept, unveiled in 2000, will be able to travel 500 miles before recharging its fuel cells!
