Whale On

lyrics

OIL IS IN SHORT SUPPLY
WE'RE RUNNING RATHER LOW
WE NEED SOMETHING TO TAP IN TO
WITH NEVER ENDING FLOW
COAL IS MUCH TOO DIRTY
WIND IS FAR TOO SCARCE
NUCLEAR IS AS DANGEROUS
AS LOOMING SOLAR FLARES
THUS WE PROPOSE THIS SIMPLE PLAN
WE HOPE THAT YOU'RE ON BOARD
TO SAIL THE SEAS IN SEARCH OF AN
ALTERNATIVE FUEL SOURCE
SOME OF YOU MAY COME TO THINK
THIS SCHEME OF OURS IS FLAWED
THAT OTHER MEANS ARE MORE HUMANE
OR THAT IT'S JUST PLANE ODD

WE'LL KILL A WHALE
KILL A WHALE
KILL A WHALE FOR ALL ITS OIL
WE'LL KILL A WHALE
KILL A WHALE
KILL A WHALE FOR ALL IT'S OIL

OIL WONT DO IT
COAL WONT CUT IT
THERE'S TOO MUCH POLLUTION
WE HAVE THE SOLUTION
OUR AMBITION IS BOLD
JUST LIKE IN THE DAYS OF OLD
WE SHALL SAIL THE HIGH SEAS
AND RETURN TO WHALING

I HEARD THEY'RE IN THE BARENT SEA
OR AT LEAST THEY USED TO BE
WE'LL FOLLOW THEM AROUND THE GLOBE
SLAUGHTERING MERCILESSLY
FROM THE GREENLAND SHORE TO THE BAFFIN BAY
FROM THE BERING STRAIGHT TO NORWAY
THE FLENSING IN REYKJAVIK
IS ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU SICK
BEFORE TOO LONG WE'LL ALL BE RICH
GRAB YOUR HARPOON AND ROWING STICK
THE SEA IS FULL OF SWIMMING TUBS
OF LIQUID GOLD THAT CAN BE SOLD
AND USED TO LUBRICATE THE WORLD
LET THE SAILS BE UNFURLED
WITH SO MUCH OIL FOR THE TAKING
EASY MONEY FOR THE MAKING

WE'LL KILL A WHALE
KILL A WHALE
KILL A WHALE FOR ALL ITS OIL
WE'LL KILL A WHALE
KILL A WHALE
KILL A WHALE FOR ALL IT'S OIL
WE'LL KILL A WHALE
KILL A WHALE
KILL A WHALE FOR ALL ITS OIL
WE'LL KILL A WHALE
KILL A WHALE
KILL A WHALE FOR ALL IT'S OIL
