This Fracking lark is gaining some momentum
\nObama and his people seem to feel
\nIf energy<\/a> is actually on their doorstep
\nThen there’s qudos,, home producing is for real
\nHydraulic Fractoring, is apparently
\nAn earner, its suggested for a few
\nBut reality sees investors losing out a lot
\nFor diminishing returns actually screw
\nIts dirty, its a really filthy business
\nEnvironmental degradation looms
\nPaying homage to an evil deep inside the earth
\nThrough a multitude of strata’s and vile plumes
\nDeep into the palezoic era, 2000–3000 feet below
\nThrough the marcellus shale
\nThat gets ruptured when a hail
\nOf chemicals and water move it so
\nAnd the gas is then on tap
\nThe fracking over
\nExcept this sick concoction some at least
\nComes back up<\/a> that old drill
\nTragically to spill
\nStored in open ponds
\nTanked off in trucks
\n16 wheelers in the operation
\nand all of this is costing us big bucks
\nToulene, Xylene,Arsenic, Barium, Chromium
\nCadmium,Mercury, Lead and Formaldehyde
\nThe fracking water is such an swesome cocktail
\nAnd so much of its wasted
\nto confide
\nWith you\u00a0 about the waste of
\nthe earth’s pure water
\nfrom 1 and 1\/2 to 9 million gallons
\nthats per drill
\nWhich is going to make the water table
\ndiminish
\nAnd the pollution and the corruption’s out there still
\nTake Texas for example with so little rain
\nthe people will be needing bottled water soon which to my mind makes the whole thing just insane
\nIn Ohio there’s 1000 wells now working
\nI’m glad I don’t live there, I have to say
\nPollution and Contamination is completely mindless
\nPoliticians make the people pay
\nAnd now Le Roy school
\nUpstate New York, yes its there
\nFracking wells below the school
\nhang fire
\nTrees around the site a dying , plants around the site are dying
\n15 children suffering the world
\naround is crying
\nTics and sick aggression and the Doctors
\nhave their own ideas
\nIts nothing to do with fracking
\nThey fail to feel the power<\/a> of tears
\nThey fail to see the wanton thrust
\nThe money<\/a> grabbing powerful lust
\nThe families there now being told
\nIts a mystery, to behold
\nFracking is the reality
\nObama and his people see
\nthe obvious, the emperor was naked all the while
\nIts sinful now what\u00a0 we are doing
\nFor deep within the earth its brewing
\nA disaster\u00a0 we may never reconcile<\/p>\n
