Use a Bank I’d Rather Die Lyrics by McCarthy

Banking, Violence and the Inner Life Today

1990

No, you won't ever catch me in a compromise
From now on our LPs will be on sale free!
I'll never use a bank, I'd prefer to die
I'll give my money away to a charity

We won't use cash, no no no no
We'll let no cash soil our hands

The use of violence isn't justified
If they send the army in we will send in flyers
None of us should use a gun, we'd prefer to die
No it's not ever right

We won't use guns, no no no no
We'll let no guns soil our hands
Oh no, we won't

Our rulers are fools, everybody knows
But some of them do use their heads, so let us take note
None of us should use our head, we'd prefer to die
We will find some other means to improve our lives

We won't use thought, no no no no
We'll let no thought soil our hands
We won't use thought, no no no no
We'll let no thought soil our hands
Oh no, we won't
