Lyrics
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
They won't fight back. I'm sure they know how. beings that love are too proud
They won't fight back. I'm sure they know how. beings that love are too proud
They swim. it's really free. it's a beautiful thing to see. they sing
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
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 no 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
They won't fight back. (x5)
They don't know how
They won't fight back. (x3)
