I know if something is bad then you
\nDon’t want it mentioned
\nAnd this is the feeling I hear
\nWhen you go to the Faroes
\nDont mention the grind
\nFor it won’t bring them feelings of cheer<\/p>\n
18 rugged islands form this part of the world
\nBeautiful rugged and green
\nAbout 50,000 Faroese livingthere
\nAnd their whaling procedures obscene<\/p>\n
GRIMUR KAMBAN was the first man
\nTo venture onto these islands I’ve heard
\nBack in 825 he tried to survive
\nThat’s how this whole thing occurred<\/p>\n
And from that moment on
\nFishing upon
\nthese islands
\nBecame the main thrust
\nProcessed fish products and farming of course
\nAnd whaling that can only disgust<\/p>\n
But don’t say a word to the islanders there
\nThey are pissed off that anyone dare
\nTo see them as retards and Inbreds
\nSoulless and so unaware<\/p>\n
They all drive their cars to the beach
\nAs you would
\nAs the great whales are driven ashore
\nThey leap into the surf with their knives at the ready
\nFor murdering whales they adore<\/p>\n
These live family units mothers with children
\nAre pounced on and cut up until
\nThe dark North Atlantic is Crimson with gore
\nThey are not butchers or surgeons
\nFor sure
\nThey are anyone who wants to murder
\nInnocent angels who fly
\nThrough the seas in great pods belonging to no one
\nAnd there on the beaches they die<\/p>\n
Imagine it hacked in to pieces
\nBy anyone holding a blade
\nMothers in front of their children
\nIt’s just a big bloody parade
\nOf murdering scum making mayhem
\nThreatening wildlife abroad
\nThese poor souls are riddled with contaminants
\nAnd slaughter here is their reward<\/p>\n
Methyl mercury hangs in their kidneys
\nPCB’s too slow them down
\nOf course fire retardents and lead and the rest
\nConsuming their flesh today it will test
\nThe immune systems totally
\nAs they all know
\nBut it’s down to the sea
\nWith their knives they all go<\/p>\n
SHeep there are some 70,000
\nRoaming the islands I hear
\nsea birds the puffin apparently
\nA delicacy too it is clear
\nIf it moves and its wild they will eat it
\nSo fishing accounts most of all
\nAnd tourism that’s the next big money earner
\nOne that we can start to call<\/p>\n
The shots as it stands they won’t listen
\nTo reason for culturally
\nThey have to get down on the beaches and murder
\nIt’s what they all do and they be
\nHappy to slaughter whole families
\nAnd risk poisoning their families too
\nIt’s all about culture and if we can’t see that
\nWe are told stay away that’s the view<\/p>\n
So what we can do is check labels
\nAnd if it comes from these fair isles
\nLeave it on the shelf don’t buy it
\nLeave it on their shelf all the piles
\nLeft unsold they will not buy them
\nAnd the Faroes will soon realise
\nIf they continue to murder the whales
\nIf could end with their own demise<\/p>\n
Then there’s the tourism angle
\nHow could we go there to see
\nHow could we not mention whaling
\nThe great children wild as can be
\nOf course we could not so we must not
\nGo there and let’s tell all our friends
\nIt’s the last place on earth
\nThat we would want to go to
\nNo tourists no income no worth<\/p>\n
Then from those sheep woollen jumpers
\nMore painful hours for those souls
\nIf it says it was made in the Faroes
\nDon’t pick it up let their roles
\nEnd let them realise culture
\nAnd tradition might be their idea
\nBut buyers are feeling fragmented
\nAbout supporting such acts
\nEvery year<\/p>\n
Let them live close to the arctic circle
\nLet them dwell in their summer mists there
\nLet them catch and eat Puffins
\nAnd climb their steep mountains
\nAnd drive pilot whales to despair
\nBut don’t come the old acid with animal rights
\nDon’t expect us to bow down and say
\nWe know you are murdering retards
\nSo carry on if it’s your way<\/p>\n
We have all seen enough of this wicked affair
\nOf the butchering ways we are very aware
\nLive on your island do you what you will
\nBut those pilot whales the ones that you kill
\nDo not belong to you they are free as can be
\nCreated to live wild and sweet in the sea
\nYou choose to murder them that is your choice
\nBut the Angels are out there and they have a voice<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
