And here's another. Zeke's coming to the festival, and I hope he'll sing this one (his SECOND Princeton song).


Four Hydrogens And A Carbon                © 2008 Zeke Hoskin SOCAN

Methane is a gas, I will sing of it now
It's found in the flatulence of human and cow
There are people who want it and aren't worried how
Four hydrogens and a carbon

Chorus:
So pump up the water and boil off the gas
Then pump all the water back under the grass
We're not upset, we're just trying to learn
How to water our gardens with water that burns

Methane is the gas that we burn in our stove
The searing blue flame that all master chefs love
And deep under Princeton they've found a big trove
Four hydrogens and a carbon

Methane is a gas you can find any day
A product of every organic decay
And there's lots underground where they won't let it stay
Four hydrogens and a carbon

Where coal seams run deep, there can methane be found
By miners who then burn to death underground
So let's pump it and poison the farms and the town
Four hydrogens and a carbon
