Keep On Fracking

Drilling through the Earth's thick core Drilling till there ain't no more Fracking goes right through the bore So cheap gas now Buy out the store And all the folks behind the wheel Just think their fuel a real steal Frackers though can't work the well As oil prices drop to Hell Drillers holes are all just capped Tools and rigs then tightly wrapped Can't work for free And get no pay May come back some other day Big oil folks now also cry Forget offshore Pass new fields by And all stays calm For just a while But overseas A big broad smile Some months pass by Our guard still down Till one day When we're in town Pump prices up We start to frown Too late We realize our fate From overseas there's no more flow So now we have no place to go The frackers gone The big boys tight Can't just start up To get things right Keep our fracker folks in mind If not We're in a real bind
