Everything's a Nail

This just boiled up in New Brunswick and it's starting to boil all over our country.
We join the protest. Silence is permission. It can be stopped.
Demo on SC and lyrics after the break




A sink hole in the ground
It's more than just a crack
It's life's blood for gas found
They're shooting up the frack
Burn everything in sight
She's oozing like a boil
She's little left to fight
we're running out of oil

Shoot high pressure water,
Underneath the shale
When you only use a hammer
Everything's a nail

Skin of our dependence
It's going all to ruin
The air's fragile surface
Like a great big balloon
The drilling's like a pin
Will you hear the big pop
One last gasping hiss
Soon maybe this should stop

Shoot high pressure water,
Underneath the shale
When you only use a hammer
Everything's a nail

Ain't this like stealing
Stealing from the future
It's stealing from the kids
What about their soil and water
Ain't no corporate game
Although they say there's lots
Its stealing just the same
And no one's calling the cops

Shoot high pressure water,
Underneath the shale
When you only use a hammer
Everything's a nail

A chance to make a change
From this final squeeze 
Water in the well
A time for us to seize 
Like the peel of an orange
You cannot put it back
There's more tools in the box
Who cares about the frack?

Shoot high pressure water,
Underneath the shale
When you only use a hammer
Everything's a nail
