8 CONSUME DOOM DOOM (A and F)
(Tune: Da Doo Ron Ron.
Words:Camilla Cancantata and Morag Carmichael)

Walking down the high street with my take-away
Consume doom, doom, doom, Consume doom, doom
Send it to the landfill and have a nice day
Consume etc.
(ba-du-ba) Yeah, 'twon’t bio-de-grade
(ba-du-ba) Yeah, it’s all man-made
(ba-du-ba) Yeah, the workers are badly paid Consume
etc.
Take away, throw away (x 6) Stop!

Walking down the high street when I saw the light
Consume etc.
Looked into the future and I had a fright
Consume etc.
(ba-du-ba) Yeah, it’s looking bad
(ba-du-ba) Yeah, the world’s gone mad
(ba-du-ba) What's happened to the earth we had?
Consume etc.
Take away etc.(x 6) Stop!

Now's the time for us to turn this round
It’s our wake-up call, it’s our wake-up call.
Plant more trees instead of cutting them down
It’s our wake-up call, it’s our wake-up call.
(ba-du-ba) Let's end this pollu-ution
(ba-du-ba) That's part of the solu-ution
(ba-du-ba) And we need a revolu-ution
It’s our wake-up call, it’s our wake-up call
Sustainability, sustainability,
Biodiversity, biodiversity,

Care for the earth, care for each other and more!
Walking down the high street with my spade and hoe
We plant our own now, we plant our own
Digging up potatoes and watching beans grow,
We plant our own now, we plant our own
(ba-du-ba) Solar panels on the old town hall
(ba-du-ba) Green jobs make a living for all,
(ba-du-ba) Working together is our answer to that call
It's our wake-up call, it's our wake-up call.
Sustainability (repeat chorus)
This is our wake-up call (x 2)
