[Intro]
Well Major Oak is an ancient tree in the middle of the Sherwood forest
It's over a thousand years old, and it's still got acorns on it
The life expectancy of an oak tree is about three hundred years
And that's why Major Oak is so revered

Well try to cast your mind back, to a thousand years ago
A bird drops an acorn into the ground and a tree starts to grow
This was back in the middle ages, when Cnut the Great was king
Seven hundred years before Newton rocked the apple tree

But this tree grew big,this tree grew strong, this tree stood it's ground
It was voted England's favourite tree in two thousand and twelve
And it stands as a symbol of history and patience
No-one in their right mind would ever try and hurt it

(Right?)


[Verse 1]
Well Ineos Group Limited are a privately-owned
Multinational chemical company based in Switzerland
With links to oil and petrol, and private equity
Tax-avoiding billionaires obsessesed with making money

They've polluted a few rivers and produced a lot of plastic
Closed a few pensions to keep the board members happy
And they really fucking love, drilling holes into the ground
Surveying for gas and then Fracking for shale
Their business and their arrogance obscures their right and wrong
They couldn't give a toss what the public want
