Common Culture - What The World Could Be

I walk along the ancient hills
Where the water once flowed clear
The sky turns grey above my head
As I stand alone in fear
The people here were happy
Until the worker's came
We need to dig your ground they said
You won't be here again
They moved them with their bats and guns
They took them from their land
They knew the risks
They knew the costs
Said we didn't understand
They spoke of all the money
That they would have to share
But tell me who needs money
When we cannot breathe our air
Oh frack away young man
Do all the damage you can
Frack away young man
And we'll watch you tell our children
You didn't understand
They soon lost their clean water
As the chemicals take their lives
The gas filled air blocks out the sun
While you still weave your lies
The children here will never know
Just what the world could be
I hope your money's worth it
Please have a drink for me
Oh frack away young man
Do all the damage you can
Frack away young man
And we'll watch you tell our children
You didn't understand
There were so many choices
Changes you could have made
Power of the sun the winds the tide
All could have saved
The world from this destruction
You've happily overseen
But tell me now was it worth the cost
The disregard the green
Oh frack away young man
Do all the damage you can
Frack away young man
And we'll watch you tell our children
You didn't understand
