JAY MANAFEST lyrics : "Gas Lands"

Verse I:

It's crazy how the ones who create the calamities

sick the cops on the those trying to save humanity
when all they want, is to take care of their families
they get beat and sent to jail man, this is insanity

from Texas, all the way to new brunswick
tar sands, fracking, gonna make us sick
Millions in profits don't help us one bit

government don't care, you know who runs %#@!

the oil companies and natural gas too

With Chapter 11, they're the ones that sue
NAFTA, What a DISASTA, we HAVE TO
organize now before they try to pass tha

TPP,Trans Pacific Partership
A plan more evil then Stephen Harper is
To control 40% of the global economy

they need to give the people a full labotomy

Chorus:


Our tax money being used on the gas lands
I feel like I'm being screwed by the tax man

corporations treat our land like a trash can
they shake hands, make plans for a back stab


Verse II:

They do all of this in the name of "Free Trade"

when there's nothing free bout the way they behave
It's just Double speak, trying to make us be slaves
rapping the Earth for the things that we crave

It's time to wake up and raise our fists
guess what, it's us who really pays for this
tax money goes to fund the multi nationals

while they cut social programs, this ain't rational

Instead of investing in small businesses

we fund giant companies what is this %#@!?
We should invest the Earth, live and die for the land
instead of being ruled by suply and demand

It's about time that we switch our priorities
those who control are the rich minorities
we hold the power in the palm of our hands

as we pay taxes to build bombs on our land

Chorus:


Our tax money being used on the gas lands
I feel like I'm being screwed by the tax man

corporations treat our land like a trash can
they shake hands, make plans for a back stab


Verse III:

Pipelines are bursting left and right

As the oil execs collect checks we write
And they all get away a theft in the night
that ain't right, let's unite to protect our life

Our towns and cities are in distress
to save em we need more then to just protest
the streets filled with police militants it's tense

the government's the threat, let make a citizens arrest

We need CLEAN energy, we have the tech

Big ups to Tesla yo, mad respect
it's time to build, put our money where our mouth is
we gotta build solar panels, put em up on our houses

invest in clean air, water and land
if we really want to give our sons and daughters a hand
let's do it for the water, trees and the animals

put to justice all those who's accountable
