Split State
oh! yea
a piece of legal jargon
do you own land
around a bouts
you bought it at a bargain
well now Big Oil is on
the war path
looking for a way
of grabbing anything they can
from you and you will pay
its clear you own the surface land
but they have the mineral rights
you may have built your dream home there
thats when their big dog bites
Split state rolls in
lawyers have stitched you up
and you
will witness drilling on your land
Yes its fracking true
within 200 feet or so
a huge great rig will climb
into the sky
did you wonder why?
so as to apply
their know how
and their fracking fluids
and a whole lot more
create a pad
your already sad
and you will be for evermore
your investment out the window
the environment is too
lies, oh they had many
and soon what they will do
when fracking water reaches
the aquifers
you’ll see
methane mixed with water
light that and you’ll be
suprised to see a puff of smoke
the gas of course ignites
your waters not for drinking
its one of Big oil frights
Down into marcellus shale
the bit between their teeth
in a great vast sea of nasties
who will lay a wreath
on your home on your farmland
on your lake
not BIG Oil
they will show 2 fingers
and your blood it will boil
frustration it will surface
but there’s nothing you can do
once you let them frack the land
the fracking waters spew
all over, and they turn their backs
and you can take the blame
you can face the misery
you can stake your claim
But insurers they will tell you
sorry chum the law
precludes BIG OIL at every stage
and they just shut the door
methane and formaldehyde
squirts out of the ground
in this vile and evil ooze
where oil men some expound
the reasons for the fracking
Natural Gas and they
can snub their noses to the Russians
for now they don’t have to pay
but its getting in the water
its getting in the air
its getting in your foodstuffs
don’t you bloody care
the animals are suffering
the fish lay on their side
the reptiles Goddess their gasping
there is no where to hide
your children will be coughing
headache nosebleeds too
we’re poisoning our countryside
with this obnoxious stew
