See the blood spout steaming, gleaming
Dark the ocean, dark and screaming
There she blows and there we slaughter
The whale nation's last sons and daughters
Whale away boys, whale away
Whale away boys, whale away
On land we stalk the mighty tusker
Their pride and glory courts disaster
Their graveyard is the vast savannah
And eighty notes on some grand piano
Fire away boys, fire away
Fire away boys, fire away
The trees that crash through burning forests
They're echoes of our broken promise
To future days and future lives
When nothing lives, when hope has died
When nothing lives, no thing survives
Burn away boys, burn away
Burn away boys, burn away
What can we do, how can we master
This greed and blindness that push us faster?
Where money screams, wisdom withers
The eagle falls, the lion shivers
The eagle falls, the lion shivers
Hip hooray boys, hip hooray
Hip hooray boys, hip hooray
