All sorts of vessels are out there
Plundering the sea
Unlicensed gill nets operating
extracting massively
net loads of prime fishing
directly to the hold
Accounting for the supermarkets
onto the ice its rolled
when faced with the Sam Simon
A ship bore down on the crew
Clearly unaware of the Sea shepherd
and what they do
fishing vessels on the high seas
many tragically
Also involve slave labour
in Thailand what we see
is people locked on boats
Its happening everyday
sailors being killed and injured
Unable to say
Anything about it
seafood around the world
is violence and is slavery
Into the ocean hurled
massive nets and unlicensed gear
Syphoning out the sea
unlicensed fish and sea birds
its not how it should be
fish meal
criminality
the oceans seemingly
torn apart, sea beds and coral
smashed up dreadfully
no control on sizes
or of species they
are out there just destroying
Anything in their way
