Bubbles In the River

When I saw the bubbles rising
from the river
I thought "what the hell",
although not in those words.

Then the slick suited men told
me everything was fine,
everything was cool,
my farm wasn't gunna die,
no way.

So they dug their wells
and laid their pipes,
took the rights we had
and laughed to the bank,
we're their people, right?

Now I'm livin' in town on the dole,
but I'm not a bludger,
I want to work but there's nothin'
I can do...

The Frackers have taken my world
and now I know what it's like
to be nobody and nothing
in this slick world of suits,
and it hurts me to the core,
split like a gas seam,
bursting,
but my land is poisoned 
and I'm alone.
