What a legacy we're leaving behind
Wouldn't it be something
For the men killing dolphins
To be caught up by their necks
In their greedy shing nets
Wouldn't it be irony
If the tunash canneries
Were to fall into the sea
The dolphins and the whales
Still left alive
Crying to the stars
And the deep blue night
There's nowhere to hide
The people on earth will not be denied
Men in helicopters y
Shooting rhinos from out of the sky
Why do we always assume
The planet is our to ruin
What a legacy we're leaving behind
What a legacy we're leaving behind
Wouldn't it be odd
If there really was a god
And he looked down on Earth
And saw what we've donne to her
Wouldn't it be just
If he pulled the plug on us
And took away the sun?
Men in helicopters y
Shooting rhinos from out of the sky
Why do we always assume
The planet is our to ruin
And all the dolphins alive
Are crying to the deep blue night
There's nowhere to hide
The people on earth will not be denied
What a legacy we're leaving behind
What a legacy we're leaving behind
