Captivity or not being free
\nRestrained In All you do
\nTaken, from where you were born
\nSo limiting so true
\nLike a custodial sentence
\nFor being who you are
\nPut under detention
\nYour soul urge for to scar<\/p>\n
Held back and restricted
\nArrested so to say
\nMade to do the dirty work
\nTethered night and day
\nUndergoing tutelage
\nFrom the simpleton trainers class
\nCloistered in a bloody tank
\nAnd treated by some arse<\/p>\n
Who calls himself your handler
\nSome henchman who decides
\nWhat you do and how you do it
\nAnd all else overrides
\nYour emancipation is all but shot away
\nYour liberty to do your thing
\nYou have lost your say<\/p>\n
Free born free bred sorry mate
\nThat’s all over now
\nYou are controlled by
\nSea World
\nAnd therefore this is how<\/p>\n
Your life pans out from now on in
\nYour manoeuvrability
\nYour ability to wander
\nIs over permanently
\nYou have become our servant
\nWe the masters will
\nLook after you until you die
\nFor we have taken on that skill<\/p>\n
The march to the Houses of Parliament
\nWent ahead and we
\nTook our placards and our voices
\nAnd all our energy
\nWe marched together avidly
\nChanting as we went
\nOur megaphones were charged
\nAnd we really felt content<\/p>\n
That together we could change things
\nCould stay the trainers hands
\nMake the case for their freedom
\nDrum up yet more fans
\nDominick was leading, Dyer (hearts on fire)
\nDave o’dell (giving them Hell)
\nRobert Platt ( knows where he’s at)
\nAs all of us did sell<\/p>\n
Empty the tanks
\nFree the souls
\nFor their captivity
\nIs anything but natural
\nIt’s in fact depravity<\/p>\n
Above us was a blue sky
\nThe sun came out to see
\nAll those tourists all those people
\nThey could hear and we
\nWere out there in our own time
\nDoing what we do
\nTelling the public the story
\nWhich to them was pretty new<\/p>\n
Jojo took the trouble
\nTo film it all and show
\nEveryone the passion and compassion
\nThat does grow
\nIn hearts and minds that care for those
\nVictims of the sea
\nWho end up as the prisoners
\nOf the corporates who be<\/p>\n
Making loads of money
\nCreating slavery
\nOverlaid with rancour
\nWith memories of Taiji
\nThe dark drives
\nAnd the frantic cove
\nWhere pods are forced to fly
\nWhere some are slaughtered mercilessly
\nAnd others sold to ply<\/p>\n
The corporates tanks and the corporates pools
\nWherever, they may go
\nIn hotels pools where client fools
\nJoin the merry show
\nSuch arrogance and ignorance
\nSuch evil to behold
\nDolphin and Whale captivity
\nThe whole things leaves us cold<\/p>\n
Jo Jo your film it did it
\nEncapsulated all
\nJoined the dots it showed it as it happened
\nAnd our call
\nWent out to all the people who saw and heard us
\nThey
\nTook our brochures,and they heard our message
\nAs they went on their way<\/p>\n
