You pollute our planet Money rules your life You are nothing but a bandit Taking away our rights You spilled toxins in our water And didn't even care Not worried about a slaughter You continue to foul our air You are killing us slowly You contaminate our wells We unknowingly drink your poison As you cash in your company's shares Almost Four-Hundred Thousand gallons of dumped oil A poisoning in North Dakota Keystone Pipeline's second spill Contaminating the soil Over a million gallons leaked total 6,600 fracking waste spills in four States Poisoning the watershed in all those places So your pockets can be lined with green While Republicans keep up deregulation Flint, Michigan still don't have clean water D.C  to allow fracking and drilling in national forests Our climate continues to get hotter Coal companies blowing up mountains don't matter You are killing us slowly You lace our children with cancer We continue to drink your poison You never give us straight answers Water is a necessity of life But corporations like money more They don't care if we live or die Bribes give our leaders a big score You are killing us slowly Death will come early for us all You can't drink money It will be America's downfall © 2019 Michael Messinger(All rights reserved)

Drinking Poison
You pollute our planet Money rules your life You are nothing but a bandit Taking away our rights You spilled toxins in our water And didn't even care Not worried about a slaughter You continue to foul our air You are killing us slowly You contaminate our wells We unknowingly drink your poison As you cash in your company's shares Almost Four-Hundred Thousand gallons of dumped oil A poisoning in North Dakota Keystone Pipeline's second spill Contaminating the soil Over a million gallons leaked total 6,600 fracking waste spills in four States Poisoning the watershed in all those places So your pockets can be lined with green While Republicans keep up deregulation Flint, Michigan still don't have clean water D.C  to allow fracking and drilling in national forests Our climate continues to get hotter Coal companies blowing up mountains don't matter You are killing us slowly You lace our children with cancer We continue to drink your poison You never give us straight answers Water is a necessity of life But corporations like money more They don't care if we live or die Bribes give our leaders a big score You are killing us slowly Death will come early for us all You can't drink money It will be America's downfall © 2019 Michael Messinger(All rights reserved)
