Lyrics - Lock the Gate - Laura-Doe and The Chaps
"The CSG story in three minutes: The issue, why it's a problem and what to do about it. This song wouldn't let me sleep until it was recorded. And then it wanted friends - so this compilation was conceived. 'Lock the Gate' is a call to non-violent social action."
You know that coal seam gas, (coal seam gas)
It's a bad gas
Yeah that methane gas
It's a really baaaad gas
There's nothing natural or clean or green
'bout drilling down into those coal seams
With acids & benzene & toluene
Please don't tell me that gas is clean
We need to take a stand before it's too late
We have the right to lock the gate
You know that coal seam gas
It's a bad gas
And when you know the facts
It's a really mad gas
Doesn't it seem completely insane
To mess with our water and what will we gain
Fuel for a lifestyle we cannot sustain
If we poison our planet we can't start again
We need work together, make a stand
Keep those exploration units off our land
There's no time to hesitate, take this step before it's too late
Lock the gate, lock the gate, lock the gate
We can't let these giant's determine our fate
When the slick PR rep says he'd rather not wait
He wants you to think he's your new best mate
Don't budge an inch once he's in it's too late
Lock the gate, lock the gate, lock the gate
Lock the gate, lock the gate, lock the gate
Lock the gate, lock the gate, lock the gate, yeah
