A bloody tail
of cruelty
of lies, of science they
the Japanese lie through their teeth
and our whale friends always pay
Sea Shepherd has great courage
and its tested every year
its sails
into the Southern Ocean
helping to save whales
Australia had promised
a ship but it never came
But Sea Shepherd they were out there
their bravery the same
a bloody tail
a harpoon
fired into, a sweet soul
who coughed who bled
who screamed aloud
who was, still in control
The Japanese they sicken me
hard hearted all the way
destruction is their wish in life
and the innocent always pay
if we could only swim alongside them
and tell them, we
love them
and we care for them
and it should never be
to think they want to eat them
they are, blood thirsty and
Japan its really shame on you
and, I dont understand
your rotten base mentality
they are unique sweet whales
the ocean is their paradise
and through it with their sails
extended they move forwards
sublimely they do sing
such wondrous notes such vision
to all our hearts they bring
