| Lyrics | [Verse 1] The sun was in clouds. The sun looked out. Exposed a trail of mist and spouts Ships followed the ancient lead. Deceiving friends under the sea Wow, imagine that? They won't fight back. I got a theory on that A whale's heart is as big as a car. A whaler's thought must be smudged by the dark [Verse 2] They won't fight back. I'm sure they know how. Means they love or are too proud. [x2] They swim. It's really free. It's a beautiful thing to see. They sing [Verse 3] Hunters of land. Hunters of sea. Exploit anything for money I refer to anybody that takes advantage of what that is free They won't fight back It's only a thought that makes it seem right. What you don't see is because of your sight [Verse 4] Take what you want. Kill what you can. That's just one way of the mind of man Take their lives. Sell their parts but there is not taking of their hearts If I was lost at sea. That harpoon boat in front of me. It's the whale I'd like to be [Verse 5] They won't fight back. [x5] They don't know how They won't fight back. [x3]You might also like |
