FRACK, FRACK, FRACKING came out of a discussion with my buddy Chris Wrather, who supported his small local community in California to take action to stop outside profiteers from endangering their health and water.
FRACK, FRACK, FRACKING
ChoA: Frack-frack-fracking
What the frack is fracking?
Fracking’s using water
To whack oil from our ground.
ChoB: Frack-frack-fracking
Your concern for us is lacking!
So we’re packing you off,
To save the water in our town.
We love the water in our city
But when you frack, it’s not so pretty
In fact, I feel like "gacking"
When I try to drink it down
’Cause your fracking blows the water
Into places that we oughter
Keep it outta, ’cause it comes out
Kinda oily, green and brown!
(ChorusA&B)
Well, you haven’t got my backing
So let’s cut all the yacking
You’re racking up the profits
From the oil you take up!
And it seems that you’re uncertain
’Bout the damage to our dirt,
An we refuse to take the risks,
Because our town is waking up!
So go back t’where ya came from!
We don’t want you here
Your fracking makes our water burn
So let us make it clear!
(ChorusB)/(Instrumental ChorusB)
Would you frack your own home water?
Would your family be distraught,... or
Would you only do it far away
From where your family lives?
No one cares about the oil
If it ruins all our soil
If it makes the water putrid
Would you do it to your kids?
Chorus B
So we’re packing you off,
T’save the water in our town!
