it numbs<br \/>\nFossil fuels blacken the sky<br \/>\nWith methane levels rising high<br \/>\nFracking pads the noise the sin<br \/>\nAs trucks roll by and such a din<br \/>\nThe fracking waste is everywhere<br \/>\nWhy was nobody aware<\/p>\n<p>The camps were there protectors too<br \/>\nLines of police arrests on view<br \/>\nFines and finger prints lock downs we<br \/>\nExperienced them incessantly<br \/>\nSlow walking trucks and our water smelt<br \/>\nOur fresh air gone all the worst cards dealt<br \/>\nSuffering as the gas fields grow<br \/>\nAs the pipes they burst and forever flow<\/p>\n<p>The roads are jammed with tankers they<br \/>\nHundreds of them cart away<br \/>\nTons and tons of god knows what<br \/>\nHouse prices fall<br \/>\nSo we have got<br \/>\nNegative equity thats for sure<br \/>\nThe house wont make what it did before<br \/>\nWe are paying the mortgage with so much stress<br \/>\nAnd all of here are in one big mess<\/p>\n<p>The fracking corporations

nosebleeds<br \/>\nThe air is thick<br \/>\nNo more coppers they are hopefully<br \/>\nFeeling inadequate now they see<br \/>\nWhat we were protecting is no more<br \/>\nAnd they can suffer like us for sure<\/p>\n<p>The CEO&#8217;s are raking it in<br \/>\nKnighthoods no doubt they always win<br \/>\nIn their tropical mansions near the sea<br \/>\nIn their lap of luxury<br \/>\nWhilst we meander from place to place<br \/>\nLeaks and earthquakes now we face<br \/>\nFracking water stinks to high<br \/>\nAnd already they are dumping it by and by<\/p>\n<p>In the river in the sea<br \/>\nOur tanks of water cost you and me<br \/>\nA fortune thanks to the fracking man<br \/>\nTo the  corporation who had their plan<br \/>\nTo ruin us all and to get away<br \/>\nWith a load of money and we could pay<br \/>\nThe local people the gas field mob<br \/>\nNo fresh water or air we sob<\/p>\n<p>We really suffer the tories they<br \/>\nAre part of the ruling class today<br \/>\nThe likes of May and the tory hordes<br \/>\nWho never fell upon their swords<br \/>\nThey had their shares in the fracking game<br \/>\nAnd the people will never feel the same<br \/>\nOur gardens and parks are ruined by<br \/>\nThe rigs and holes and by and by<br \/>\nThe radio active waste they used<br \/>\nDown the bore holes we refused<\/p>\n<p>But they just did it anyway<br \/>\nThey changed the laws and we had to pay<br \/>\nThey got off scot free and they live abroad<br \/>\nWhere most of us cannot afford<br \/>\nOur beautiful lakes are contaminated<br \/>\nOur countryside now its not rated<br \/>\nThe air we breaths it chokingly<br \/>\nIs Dirty and most of us we be<\/p>\n<p>Watching our country go the dogs<br \/>\nFracking happened and brought the bogs<br \/>\nThe swamps the rigs the evil cloud<br \/>\nWe live in the gas fields are we proud<br \/>\nTo have fought them hard and got jail time<br \/>\nOur finger prints taken in pits of slime<br \/>\nOur lives were awful nothing to rate<br \/>\nLiving in what is a police state<\/p>\n<p>Cuadrilla has done it I gas  too<br \/>\nineos richer the tories do<br \/>\nLook after their backers<br \/>\nNow as we wait<br \/>\nBritain will never again be great<br \/>\nMay fucked up brexit we lost<br \/>\nThe customs union they tossed<br \/>\nDemocracy ofcourse a way<br \/>\nAnd the people are losing every day<br \/>\nMigrants are here mosques everywhere<br \/>\nSharia law rules the english dont care<\/p>\n<p>Most of them gone off to far far away<br \/>\nWhere the skies are still blue and the air clean<br \/>\nThey say<br \/>\nThe united kingdom is now no more<br \/>\nIts just a run down place destroyed by war<br \/>\nThe E U it strangled them they have no peace<br \/>\nBank accounts raided just like in Greece<br \/>\nUnelected officials ruling the roost<br \/>\nAnd making the laws and getting a boost<br \/>\nFrom seeing the english just rot in the jails<br \/>\nWhilst the remainers are spinning their
