Intro
Where are we, C Em
On this old journey G
What did we decide, Em
And who lied, G
And who died? CMaj7 C
Verse
Well the river flow through the forest Em G
But the money don't grow on trees D A
The gas man smiled, put the pen in my hand Em G
And asked me to sign the lease D A
Pretty please, pretty please CMaj7 D/Em CMaj7 D/Em
And now the water's on fire
And the hole is dug too deep
And the money in my pocket
That I thought could do some good
Is blowing away
In the breeze, in the breeze
Chorus
Mr. Corporation Man Em G Em
Get off of my land! Em G Em
Mr. Corporation Man Em G Em
Get off of my land! Em G Em
That well pad is like a graveyard
When they come with their machines
To tear up the Earth and tell me what it's worth
But they never told me what it means
That the water tastes funny
But it's not so funny
So I went down to the mayor
Thinking he'd be kind
But his hands were tied and he'd lost his pride
And his pockets were lined
Lined with money
Oh, with money
Chorus
If they ever come a-knockin'
Upon your front door
With their three-piece-suits and their clean black shoes
Tellin' you what's in store
Down in the shale
Deep down in the shale
They can promise you you'll be wealthy,
But I think that you might find
That you'd rather be safe and healthy
And keep your peace of mind
I'm not for sale, No, I’m not for sale,
I’m not for sale, No, I’m not for sale
Chorus
…
Mr. Corporation Man
There's blood on your hands

hello neighbor don't you know there's gas beneath your ground
here's a lease that you can sign, there's money drilling down
hello neighbor don't you know they're drilling down the road
the river's black and blacker where they unload
river runs with frackwater
smoke as black as oil
suits as black as coal
reservoir frackwater
