LYRICS and CHORDS
A D E x3 E E7 A
Verse 1:
There's a bank on the high street that everyone knows
But have you ever wondered where your money goes?
Barclay takes your money and breaks the rules
Investing in climate-wrecking fossil fuels
Chorus:
Move, move, move your money
Find a greener bank
Cos it just ain't funny
It's easy to do, so do it now,
Take our flyer to find out how
Spoken:
Did you know that Barclays spends
£3 billion on coal power,
£18 billion on fracking?
£43 billion on expanding fossil fuels,
£1 billion on drilling, in the Arctic
£12 billion on off-shore oil & gas
and a massive £108 billion on fossil fuels!
WOW!
Verse 2:
Scrub, scrub, scrub we gotta get it clean,
It's the dirtiest bank we've ever seen
They pretend to be green,
But it just ain't true,
So scrub, scrub, scrub is what we've got to do
Chorus
Verse 3
We need to tell Barclays to stop this crime
And act right now cos we're running out of time
Oil, coal, gas, keep it in the ground
We've got to keep our children safe and sound.
Chorus
All income from this song will go towards paying for the recording and mixing session.
Any additional income will be donated to Indigenous Environmental Network, formed by grassroots indigenous peoples to address environmental and economic justice issues www.ienearth.org
This is because Barclays' investments have direct impacts on land defenders on the ground - tar sands, fracking, deforestation, etc.
PS Bonus ACTION: if you fancy getting active, there will be Barclays actions all over the country on the 14th of November. Sign up here: www.actionnetwork.org/forms/sign-up-for-nvda-with-money-rebellion
