Dr Sues Talking Fracking Blues

Dr Sues Talking Fracking Blues

We are here from oklahoma to frack up your town
to poison your water, shake up your ground
buy up you statehouses, and EPA , news
the attorney general and governor too
and write laws that say
you can't know what we do

we're chesapeake.
Vampires
thanks for inviting us in!

what's in the water? Don't worry your head
chances are good that you won't end up dead til
our profit's been made and we've
pulled up the stakes
left you with land that our work has disgraced
left you with underground toxified lakes
olympic sized
environmentally friendly!
And perfectly safe to drink.

car-cin-o-gens and some mutagens too
and more that we just don't know what they will do
all mixed together and floating about
shoved underground, well, until it comes out
no realtor will touch it, it won't pass inspection
the banks that we own will not give grant an exception
but the profits we make
mmm, it's enough to give us all an erection
and there's still some left over to buy the election

what's in the water? Do you still persist?
It would damage our image to give you a list
we will tell a few if you're going to insist
listen closely
it's balderdash
a little thing we like to call public relations

tetramethyl ammonium chloride is one
and napthalene. Napthalene always is fun
and a lot of these chemicals are found in your house
and just like the poison you put down for the mouse
you always drink everything found on your shelves
ammonium persulfate is good for your health

petroleum distillate, hydrotreated lite
you may well be having with dinner tonight
we'll frack up your farmland and frack up your woods
and all that complaining will do you no good
cuz we've bought up you statehouses, the EPA ,news
the attorney general and governor too
and write laws that say
you can't know what we do
and you can't talk about it if we've done it to you

we'll lie and we'll lie and we'll lie and we'll lie
and your dr can't tell you what's making you die
five million gallons of water per frack
and we frack it so hard that there's no coming back
but we'll say its all the same
just like field irrigation
yeah, its just like watering the golf course

5 million gallons of water thats ruined
we'll conflate with the water new yorkers consume
in 8 minutes time and just hope that its clean
instead of being mixed up with Toluene
it's balderdash
it's marketing! Xylene, it's whats for dinner

come on down
we're here to create the "jobs of the future" for you frakin community! Yes, we're creating a demand, spurring new growth in exciting fields! You can never have enough radiologists, surgeons, anesthesiologists, undertakers, toxic remediation teams. How would you fancy running a  water bottling company?  opportunities are endless!   fire fighters for those emergency times when you try to use that thing that used to turn on the water- what was that again? A faucet?. We're helping make nebulizers and asthma medication a growth industry – our stockholders will thank us. And finally we are leading the way in spurring new growth in the construction industry. You're welcome for the earthquakes. This has been a public service announcement. With mandolin.

so you're planning out the budget
for the coming fiscal year
and your workers are complaining
that their rent is in arrears
and their dr. bills and gasoline
to get their ass to work
is more than you've allotted
so now food is a perk

they're talking bout a living wage
and refuse to understand
it isn't in the books to fill their
grasping greedy hands
the CEO won't stand for it
and neither will the board
so they upped his pay 9 million more
as his cost cutting reward
ch:
you net 300 times your average worker's salary
you're keeping out the unions and your tax bills close to free
20 billion yearly profits is the way it's s'posed to be
it's great to e member of the corporatocracy


a living wage would break you
and your stockholders would scream
a whole 15 bucks an hour
that just seems a bit extreme
and you had to pay the lobbyists
and lobbyists ain't cheap
300 bucks an hour worth
to fight the workers' greed

your congressman he gets it
and he's going to help you out
a million here, a million there
can really buy some clout
he says leave it to the market
and to keep that market free
to keep the workers insecure
and keep them on their knees

you net 300 times your average worker's salary
you're keeping out the unions and your tax bills close to free
20 billion yearly profits is the way it's s'posed to be
it's great to be member of the corporatocracy


you think that they'd be happy
with their generous compensation
18 thousand bucks a year and
half a week vacation
Your child's 7th birthday only cost you
twice that much
you think that they'd be happy
they get discounts buying lunch

so fight on you fearless warriors
against a u.s. living wage
fire the agitators and make sure
your lobby pays
some congressmen agree with you
and go farther even still
they say do away with minimum wage
and your coffers they will fill

you net 300 times your average worker's salary
you're keeping out the unions and your tax bills close to free
20 billion yearly profits is the way it's s'posed to be
it's great to be member of the corporatocracy
