Balcombe Front line fracking

Cuadrilla want drilling in Balcombe to start
they fracking well don’t care a thing
the great public police corporation
are there now in force just to bring
the public to heel to arrest them
to intimidate them and to try
and give open house to the Cuadrilla mob
who will clear off when Balcome does die

and die it will,just torn to pieces
by the great metal dinosaurs they
will come in and tear up and drill down
and draw up the gas and be on their way
the environment yes it will suffer
the fracking liquid it will be
poisoning rivers maybe even aquifers
that’s what the police fail to see

But if they are local they’ll see it
when their waters poisoned they’ll see
when their families suffering then they might think
if the overtime payments will be
enough to buy, the bottled water
will safeguard their house prices that
have fallen since Cuadrilla came into town
and basically skimmed off the fat

Balcombe is one of the many
places that drillers will need
to come to and really destroy it
these sweet country havens will bleed
the people some of them will feel it
a truncheon will hit them for sure
the world is a monster the vile corporations
have now taken over the law

and its coming down hard on the people
the rate paying tax paying crowd
people like Cuadrilla and their richer backers
are hiding in some now vast cloud
but shale gas is terribly destructive
getting it out you will see
the people and the countryside suffering
and in Britain this shouldn’t now be

The yanks are now fucking the environment up
water supplies at a low
dumping their poisons just anywhere
anywhere that it can go
there’s no insurance to speak of
they’ve stitched us up and we are lost
are we expected to lay down and die
and just bear the whole dreadful cost
is that what the police want
it seems that they do
just corporate slaves
for the very rich few
