The french are getting in on
UK’s fracking
Total wants its tonnes of dosh it seems
its banned in France they know
its bloody awful
but here who cares the corporates
steams
the government is giving out
its tax break’s
thats the corporate interest
in the bag
shale gas is the thing thats going to
give the short term investors
lots of dosh the banksters too
will drag
their dirty feet around the
bloody fracking pads
chopping up the green fields
thats their need
1300 trillion cubic feet of gas
and lots of local people
watch them bleed
as will local groups around the country
when pollution hits them
they will see
and all that transport coming every which way
when it affects your house prices
you will suddenly
wake your ideas up
when its too late of course
thats when you can whistle
for the price
of gas wont go down they are
after stripping away the profits
which in a fucking nutshell isn’t nice
