A natural tank
What rubbish are they talking
First circus now its conservation, they
Must think we are a lot blooming idiots
We clearly have no idea what time of day
It is the great cetaceans which are made for
A concrete tank with blue tiles so to say
The ocean is now not much different
From a manufactured bath
Except its a lifeless hell and they do pay
And so the Sea World crowd fight through the turnstiles
The board need more bums on their seats and we
See the falling numbers especially in San Diago and thats because they just lack empathy.
Every excuse in the book thats Sea Worlds answer
Everybody loves them thats their cry
Everybody really loves the Orca’s
And doesn’t want to see them high and dry
It isn’t fair to treat them as we have done
Saying its the knowledge that we get
Sea world needs to be mindful of its statements
And honestly to really try and let
The whales and dolphins out into the ocean
A sea pen, may be then the open sea
No human has the right to capture mammals such as these
And A tank and an aquarium is no place to be
