Story behind the song
HRC said in a speech to labor unions that I and others who work to protect the environment from such practices as fracking should "get a life." This is insulting in itself, but considering that I am a member of AFM Local 1000 and in the past started our chapter of SEIU 509, I find her comment particularly lacking in environmental understanding and respect.
Lyrics
Dear Hillary, I heard you say To the unions just the other day That our devotion to planet gets in your way So we should get a life, but you take ours away. Fracking’s the end, you don’t comprehend It’s our water our planet, and we will defend it From your drillin and spillin, exploding in flames Before annihilation is all that remains The life you are living for personal gain For power & wealth, all you can obtain Is climate destructing the air with methane And blowing up towns with your oil shale train. And down in Honduras the murders began Of activists protecting Honduran land Berta said it was you who put in their hands The guns for assassins awaiting command So get a life Berta Caceres murdered at home Get a life Jose Angel Flores resisting a free trade zone Get a life Nelson Garcia killed in front of his family Get a life Silmer Dionisio George says HRC Berta won the Goldman Environmental prize Fighting for indigenous rights and confronting your lies The mining, fracking and clear cuts, corruption and organized crime Assassins are killing the workers since your coup in 2009. So Berta Caceres would get a life if you hadn’t taken it away Jose Angel Flores would have lived another day For protecting the flor and fauna, you make all of us pay And the bullets in our bodies all say USA
