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
