Exploding Oil Trains

Seattle’s our home And we don’t want it blown Up by trains carrying volatile oil. The tanks are so old They can eas’ly explode We’ve seen how they kill and they maim. Chorus: Keep those trains far from us Or better yet don’t let them muss Our climate up more Let’s show them the door Keep the oil in the ground evermore. How can we let greed So eas’ly impede Our right to a climate that’s clean The future looks bleak Unless we can keep Fossil fuels down where they belong. Chorus This statement we make Is strong not opaque Clearly we fear for our lives In the present and then For our kids and their kin Keep all that oil in the ground.
