New CD Single - To The Big End Of Town - Out Now

Tony Moore's great new song about Corporate Greed.

TO THE BIG END OF TOWN © Tony Moore Nov 2008

Do you remember the State Bank money box
It was green and made of tin, you put your pennies in the top
And the man from the Bank
Came to school every week
He’d stamp your bank book Help you save
Pay interest with no fees

But today our money simply disappears
With daily fees & charges, and interest on arrears
And the men at the top
With their noses in the trough
They just laugh all the way to the bank

No more big bucks for the boss
Of the bank or the big company
Their wages are our savings
Pissed up against a tree
No more big bucks for the boss
Of the bank or the big company
It’s time they made a sacrifice
They should work a year for free

Well we bought a swag of shares in BHP
The bosses took home millions – our dividends were wee
Now I can’t bear to look
At the share price today
Cut their wages down to size and the share price might just rise

But I wonder if the fat cats really care
They don’t seem to act while the world is in despair
No noses are brown
At the big end of town
They just laugh all the way to the bank

No more big bucks for the boss
Of the bank or the big company
Their wages are our savings
Pissed up against a tree
No more big bucks for the boss
Of the bank or the big company
It’s time they made a sacrifice
They should work a year for free
