the fracking song (my water’s on fire tonight) lyrics
[verse 1: david holmes & niel bekker]
fracking is a form of natural gas drilling
an alternative to oil, ’cause the oil kept spillin’
bringin’ jobs to small towns, so everybody’s willin’
people turn on the lights, and the drillers make a k!llin’
water goes into the pipe, the pipe into the ground
the pressure creates fissures 7000 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 talkin’ benzene
[chorus: david holmes & niel bekker]
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

[verse 2: neil bekker & david holmes]
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
hotter, hotter, hotter, hotter, hotter, hotter, hotter

[chorus: david holmes & niel bekker]
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
[outro: david holmes]
what the frack is going on with all this fracking going on?
i think we need some facts to come to light
