lyrics

Keep the coal in the hole
Oil under the soil
Leave the gas in the crack at the back
Keep the coal in the hole

I know it’s going to be tough
To say enough is enough
Got to learn that you simply can’t burn
Any more of that stuff

Trouble brewing in the bayou
In the everglades
People putting up roadblocks
Man the barricades

They want to build a pipeline
All the way to the sea
Messing with the alligators
We’re begging everybody please, please, please keep the coal in the hole

There’s a fracas in the farmyard
People getting uptight
They’re chaining onto the railings
Getting ready to fight
They don’t know what’s going to happen
To the water and the air
Maybe start a little earthquake
Doesn’t anybody care so, no, keep the coal in the hole

We got a number of options
There’s wind and there’s the sun
Split a little more uranium
We can get this done
Be just a little more careful
Not so over the top
Turn off a load of light-bulbs
Just one thing that’s got to stop, we’ve, got, to keep the coal in the hole

Keep the coal in the hole
Oil under the soil Leave the gas in the crack, (at the back / don’t frack)
Keep the coal in the hole
