Fracking hell

It really is everyone’s story
We are all going to have one so we
Who try to be really good ancestors
For children that are coming to be
And their children for they will look back
Or really how selfish we were
We ruined the water we ruined the air
And on our watch it all did occur

This is one story but there will be millions
Of stories of people who cared
They loved where they lived
For they lived where they loved
And up to a point they were spared
GOvernemnts were not for people
They saw people, as just a pain
It was the big corporations
From hell who could bring them their gain

But like everything else based on
Corporate science
Laws then get broken and they
WaLtz through the land like
Great locusts, destruction
Destruction each day
The air that we breathe it gets
Tarnished the methane
Created its there
The water we drank pure and simple
Gets oily and filled with despair

The environment that we loved gently
Is torn down and lost for us all
Access roads pour through the countryside
They truly break every rule
The trucks break up roads with their plying
The noise and the dust and the pain
Everyone suffers everyone hurts
For it happens again and again

There is no let up when they build their way
Then all you do is fetch water all day
And what if you are old or infirm
It’s too bad
You can breathe in the methane
From off the frack pad
Your house is worth little
No nest egg for you
All the hard work you got
All your life through

Is eaten up daily by frackers and they
Are after their profit in the cool light of day
You are a pain in their story you know
And they will reward you with hassle and woe
That’s what they are good at that’s what they do
Everything goes wrong when they are close to you
Taking advantage they want it all
You are invisible that is their rule

Water was sacred as was the Air
But frackers are monsters they just do not care
If you live in the countryside
Animals too
Get short shrift from them
It’s what frackers do
Erect their drills build their pads
And away
All of those pleasures you once had
You pay
Heavily for as they really destroy
Your haven forever your love and your joy

Some thought they would make
They would take it and run
But everyone loses when the day is done
No insurance you can’t buy it rules
Have been changed
They treat all us people
As though we are deranged
And there is no comeback
Ancestors as such
We shall be viewed
As so out of touch

Gullible idiots who brought the pain
The evil the ugliness and the black rain
The black snakes were everywhere
Hissing away
Destroying our forests
Making us pay
We have to wake up
We can’t sleep anymore
We must join the marchers
And make our own law

This planet needs us
We have to be
Ready to go into war and to see
These bastards these corporations
We must
Fight them and beat them
Or drown in their dust
They make and they scarper
When they purge us all
This vile fracking message
Is answer the call

It’s for your own good
And the good of us all
we must stand up and say no
Answer the call
Forget those daf’t idiots
Taking their dough
In the end everyone of us
Knows when we go

We leave behind footprints
We leave behind life
And when the generations
Sample our strife
We shall be remembered
As weak livered souls
Who let corporations
Score all the goals
