Songs about our planet
& us, the people on it.
The banks muck up.
They let us all down.
Businesses shut up shop
all over town.

Prices go up.

Fracking Hell
They're turning this planet into
Fracking Hell
So tell them to "Frack Off!
& don't come back!"
Tell them to "Frack Off, now!
& don't come back!"
These multinational
corporations
really are
getting out of hand.
They're fracking with
our natural water
& with this green
& pleasant land
So tell them to "Frack Off!
& don't come back!"
Tell them to "Frack Off, now!
& don't come back!"
We apologise
for the subtlety
that apparently
we sadly lack
yet feel obliged
to emphasise
"Please Frack Off, now
& don't come back!"

I'm Only Human
Sorry, Everybody!
Okay, so start on a minor.
Sometimes I make mistakes
I wonder what's wrong, what's up
When everything's going great
How come I can still phmuck up?
I'm Only Human
Sometimes I get all the blame
Even when I've done nothing wrong
It makes me want to scream & shout
but I just chill & I write a song
cos..
I'm Only Human
Sometimes when I'm on my own
I wonder why
I still can't save the world
no matter how hard I try
I'm Only Human
