What The World Could Be Lyrics

I walk along the ancient hills

Where the water once flowed clear

The sky turns grey above my head

As I stand alone in fear

The people here were happy

Until the worker's came

We need to dig your ground they said

You won't be here again

They moved them with their bats and guns

They took them from their land

They knew the risks

They knew the costs

Said we didn't understand

They spoke of all the money

That they would have to share

But tell me who needs money

When we cannot breathe our air

Oh frack away young man

Do all the damage you can

Frack away young man

And we'll watch you tell our children

You didn't understand

They soon lost their clean water

As the chemicals take their lives

The gas filled air blocks out the sun

While you still weave your lies

The children here will never know

Just what the world could be

I hope your money's worth it

Please have a drink for me

Oh frack away young man

Do all the damage you can

Frack away young man

And we'll watch you tell our children

You didn't understand

There were so many choices

Changes you could have made

Power of the sun the winds the tide

All could have saved

The world from this destruction

You've happily overseen

But tell me now was it worth the cost

The disregard the green

Oh frack away young man

Do all the damage you can

Frack away young man

And we'll watch you tell our children

You didn't understand
