Incidental harassment authorization

Incidental harassment authorization coming
the US Navy is out there in the ocean
220 decibels of interference humming
approximately 60 hours and
transmitting for 6 days
any mammals swimming in the wide vicinity
is bound to feel uncomfortable
like some dark malaise
all below 125 hertz
but really on, protection
there are no dead certs

dead whales
dead dolphins
turtles too
but no dead certs
the Navy’s view
it has to happen
harassment rules
research controls
I mean they’re fools

whatever the navy does is right
the mammals are left to their plight
we rule the waves and under sea
not the whales so it has to be
one day when the whales are gone
and everywhere’s polluted bad
then they may well just dream on
the marvellous souls we all once had

sonar and sound gets to them all
they are very sensitive
and a wall
of strange sound coming
will frighten them and maybe they
will die out there
that’s what they say
