Fracking Chant
“Fracking Chant” draws its inspiration from a book called Frackopoly by Wenonah Hauter, with facts drawn from the chapter on water.

For every fracking well

Fracking wells, fracking wells
How much water do they use?
Fracking wells, fracking wells
How much water do they use?
6 billion gallons a year
In Colorado alone

And how much of that water
Turns toxic, turns toxic?
How much of that water
Turns toxic, turns toxic?
10.5 billion gallons
Of toxic waste water every day
10.5 billion gallons
Of toxic waste water every day
And what do they do with
All that toxic water?
What do they do with
All that toxic water?
Most of it’s injected
Into wells, into wells
Most of it goes into
Injection wells
And how much of that water
Is lost from us forever?
How much of that water
Is lost from us forever?
90% will never be water again
90% will never be water again
