Year 2014
Songwriter Unlisted Songwriter
by Ruth Arent Tune: I’ve Been Working on the Railroad Note: tune of second verse is: first 2 lines and last 2 lines of first verse We’ve been hearing ‘bout the coal cars Every single day We are shocked and we are raging They must not have their way. Filthy poisons, dirty profits An environmental mess China’s coughing up the money And coal sharks could care less. CHORUS: So-Everyone should go, Let the coal sharks know Stinking up the air is a NO! NO! NO! Everyone should go. Let the coal sharks know We mean it when we shout NO! No! We are faced with green house gasses Dioxides by the pound We are talking ‘bout survival! Listen up! It is PROFOUND!!!! CHORUS
