Just north of Kansas City
PLatte County a big bang
When someone dropped a clanger
A spangled banger hang
They all once sang its praises
That nothing could go wrong
Plumes of fire lit up the sky
A pipeline all along
MID AMERICA PIPELINE COMPANY
They Confirmed today
The pipeline had exploded
No no get away
DAPL is going forward
Under the Missouri and they
Also tell us everything is safe
Yea come what may
Water is life
But Energy Transfer PArtners
Dont believe
The indigenous have any say
That is why they heave
Rubber bullets bean bag rounds
Water cannon to
Mace us pepper spray us
And Do what they do
The pipelines are an anaathema
Its profit and its greed
We must stand together folks
And make sure we succeed
