Who Gives a Frack

There’s gas in them there seams So the scientists seem to think All they have to do to get it is Dig the holes, then sink Sink down hydraulic drills Force under high pressure, mixture in the cracks All the gas then seeps upwards And that’s what they call the fracks Fracking is new big business They say fracking is here to stay Blackpool had its tower But has the tower had its day? When they pressure shoot the mixture And the ground does bang and shake As the fracks travel through the ground Does it cause a new earthquake? Never mind the ghost ride Or the mouse trap racing round With a little bit of fracking Will it all fall down? No more Blackpool illuminations No more trams or central pier When the scientists start their fracking Will the frackers shed a tear? They say there are no earth tremors It does not cause new cracks In other words poor Blackpool The scientists don’t give a frack… Do the politicians listen? Do they bother what people feel or think? You only know where moneys involved They will let the frackers sink With a little fracking here and a little fracking there The gas it rises to the top, do they catch it in the air? As long as they are comfortable and they themselves suffer no lack One thing about the politicians is, they never give a frack… © GG 13/08/2013 Fracking is forcing under high pressure a mixture or water sand and chemicals into the ground fracturing rock to release its gas, everywhere they try it is seems to cause earth tremors, they say there is no definitive proof but do they care when money is involved. Blackpool suffered two quakes causing them to stop the fracking for a while but they want to start again.o my question is once more 'Who gives a frack?
