They are crimes against humanity
Bleeding our water dry
Rivers lakes and aquifers
The question I ask why?
People in water scarce areas
Scratching in the dust
Drinking polluted water
Dont you feel disgust?
So a land baron in Texas
Who thinks he has the right
To steal it from these dry mouths
And pipe it out of sight
Into a vast fracking well
To be wasted for all of time
Out of the mouths of babies
Forced to drink infested slime
