TD Bank
You can't take it all from us
Can't you see
The world does not need you
Least of all
First Nation Peoples
Who've had enough
Of broken treaties

We don't want
More of this Tar Sands shit
No Line 3
If nobody pays for it
Stop funding Big Oil
That makes the planet boil
Your crimes will destroy us all
