Every child deserves the right
to drink fresh water, they
have the right like anybody else
why would they pay?
whilst others waste so much of it
how can that be fair
no one says it has to be
who are you to share
what nature has provided
you are just too poor
you don’t have a leg to stand on
you! we shall ignore
if its water that you need
there’s plenty in the ground
go and fucking dig it up
a factor to astound
we are mighty corporate’s
soldiers of energy
we take fracking upon ourselves
and treat it seriously
clawing into marcellus shale
that lies 2 miles below
takes vast amounts of water
we need it don’t you know
we inject it with a cocktail
of chemicals, and we
thrust it down the drill head
to where it has to be
but what about our children
what about those who
need fresh drinking water
their cells all need it too
what do you say big corporate
where do our children go
they can fucking go to hell
now of course you know
they have little value
and kingdom come will be
better now for knowing that
and that water has to be
utilized by frackers
turned into a soup
laced with the vile chemicals
those poor kids they can
scoop
their water
from the earth themselves
struggle in the sod
and if it comes to nothing
than can go pray to their god
as their bodies racked with dryness
give up and they alone
can be fortified with knowing
there is no need to moan
for we the giant corporate’s
are fracking and we’re free
to do it really anywhere
in the vicinity
and if it means your water
is compromised then we
have the right to do whatever
we deem right, and we be
the rulers for the energy
is guaranteed to be
profiting the richest
and this humanity
they need it for their soda’s
their coca cola splash
they need it for their chasers
for them of course its flash
but you some grovelling youngster
who hasn’t got a bean
worthy of just nothing
already sick and lean
you have no call on water
you have nothing to say
you are the poor and as such
dry up and go away
there that is their edict
and as such we must see
if its fracking that we want
if its energy
if its natural gas we want
then we must pay the price
let the children die
even if that’s not nice
even if it means water
is wasted every day
is turned into a chemical soup
that must be thrown away
even if peoples cries are heard
above the grinding drill
on their knees they pray aloud
as the fracking waters spill
down on them
they clutch the earth
they scream blue murder, they
are dying for a drop of water
they are made to pay
for being poor and helpless
that’s the law to day
only children of the corp orates
can have water
that’s the way
at this time its water
soon it will be air
if you cannot pay the price
your dead
are you aware
what the world is coming to
how you will go on
if you cannot pay the price
that’s it alas you’re gone
what I say is wake up
if you love and care
supply yourselves with fortitude
and just try to be there
to fight all this injustice
for otherwise you will see
activism becomes the crime
that ends humanity
only enclaves in their sewers
will be our rich domain
clawing at their remnant waste
and going half insane
as they gulp down their soda’s
as they intoxicate
their bodies with the surplus
they simply profligate
everything that was the worlds
is now there’s as for us
we are the sewer people
there’s nothing to discuss
