#singfortheclimate My Waters on Fire Tonight What the Frack is going on When 1st seen, had Shell ad on front!!! t.co/QFct1xvA7H Some quibbles about facts but, what the frack, it still fun and gets the point across. Fracking is a form of natural gas drilling An alternative to oil cause the oil kept spilling Bringing jobs to small towns so everybody’s willing People turn on their lights and the drillers make a killing Water goes into the pipe, the pipe into the ground The pressure creates fissures 7,000 feet down The cracks release the gas that powers your town That well is fracked….. Yeah totally fracked But there’s more in the water than just H2O Toxic chemicals help to make the fluid flow With names like benzene and formaldehyde You better keep ‘em far away from the water supply The drillers say the fissures are a mile below The groundwater pumped into American homes But don’t tell it to the residents of Sublette Wy-O That water’s fracked…. We’re talking Benzene… Chorus: What the frack is going on with all this fracking going on I think we need some facts to come to light I know we want our energy but nothing ever comes for free I think my water’s on fire tonight So it all goes back to 2005 Bush said gas drillers didn’t have to comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act, before too long It was “frack, baby, frack” until the break of dawn. With the EPA out it was up to the states But they didn’t have the money to investigate Sick people couldn’t prove fracking was to blame All the while water wells were going up in flames Cause it’s hard to contain all the methane released It can get into the air, it can get into the streams. It’s a greenhouse gas, worse than CO2 Fracking done wrong could lead to climate change too Now it’s not that drillers should never be fracking But the current regulation is severely lacking Reduce the toxins, contain the gas and wastewater And the people won’t get sick and the planet won’t get hotter Chorus ...
