No Fracking Way

from Sometime a Spark by Marc Black

/

about

I sang this song at countless rallies from Coast to Coast. And the great thing is that somehow, working altogether, we helped put end to fracking in New York State!

lyrics

Hey, how you doin'
I just came by to say hello
I work for the gas company
I was just happened to be in the neighborhood, you know
but I was thinkin, you must be tired of workin'
that rake and that hoe
I could make you lots more money
than those potatoes

I know you probably heard
Lots of that propaganda
How fracking's bad for the environment
And we are out to destroy the land and
Blah blah, Don't believe it,
It's safe as the day is long
We drill, you collect the money
And nothing can go wrong

So?

CHORUS:
No frackin' way
Not on my land
No frackin' way
I'm talkin' to you man
Don't frack with me
And I won't frack with you
Go frack yourself, bro'
Go home

Don't be a dope
I got the law on my side
I paid Mr. Cheney in advance
And I'm gonna take my free ride
If you're smart, i'll cut you in
This is a big idea, you see
There'll be plenty gas…and cash money
(well, uh, well…)

CHORUS

Everything would be so cool
If you'd just settle In
There'll be plenty clean clear water from the icebergs
You know, they're meltin'
And the water from your tap
It'll have the colors of the rainbow
And if someone's got a match
Now that'd be a show.

CHORUS

I ain't no schmo bro
Go home
I seen the gasland video
Go Home! (get out here)

So when the man comes up to and he says
I wanna give you all this money to poison your land
What will you say, huh?

CHORUS
