¶Lyrics / Text

Sing a song of profits, the miners now have found another way to exploit the coal that’s underground. Taking out the coal gas and selling it abroad, another hefty bonus for the chairman of the board. ''Chorus:'' Protest with your banners, protest with your feet, Protest through the internet, protest with a tweet. Write those e-mail letters, send one, send them all Let the politicians know we don’t want it at all. Coal seam gas, no, no, no! Sing a song of danger, the process is quite flawed, Fracking causes toxins to leach into the soil. It’s contaminated, then what do you think? The water in the catchment isn’t fit to drink. ''Chorus'' Sing a song of protest, the people must be heard. It’s not just the Greenies, we all think it’s absurd. Farmers in the country, city dwellers too Would like to keep the environment from being completely – (spoken) mucked up. ''Chorus''
