The Dolphins - Spearmint

I’m nodding to say that I’m listening to you

Not nodding to say I agree with you

We’re slaughtering the dolphins

It’s time to face what we already know

There’s a tenth of the fish there were fifty years ago

We’re slaughtering the dolphins

We dynamite the coral reef

While trawlers drag the ocean

Destroying everything in their wake

The bottom of the ocean

Mercury, copper, pesticides

We dump them in the ocean

Fish change sex, gradually die

In the polluted ocean

We took the gift and abused it until it couldn’t last

We’re selling the future to pay for the past

We’re slaughtering the dolphins

The poster is ripped… a calm clear sea shows through

One day the oceans will be pristine and blue

We’ve had our time with the world

We’re slaughtering the dolphins

Ship the fish around the world

Over-fished to extinction

The by-catch killed needlessly

Outnumbers what is eaten

You claim a fish feels no pain

To justify your behaviour

But no matter how they are caught

Every fish will suffer…
