When humanity creates a hierchy
placing blowholes above anemones
when sovereign nations have made it policy slaughter anything that goes with wasabe
in the food chain, there is a third rail
winking at mass murder of the yellowtail
let 'em suffocate, there's no intelligence
they don't jump through hoops for an audience
Chorus:
say a prayer for the earth as you make a wish
who will shed one tear for the tunafish,
or the thousand other species on the ocean floor?
Does a spot on prime time tv land
justify the ruination of a fisherman
that could've been me, cries the albacore
with the carnage sealed hermetically
in the killing fields of local canneries
it's a dolphin safe atrocity
(flippery frippery)
Chorus:
say a prayer for the earth as you make a wish
who will shed one tear for the tunafish,
or the thousand other species on the ocean floor?
Metal gafs are flying
as the innocent keep dying
but are we only crying
for god's creatures not worth frying?
