Pollution Pirates

Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas
Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas
Long John Silver is dumping his chemical waste
The sea is turning gray with a slick once more
All the animals are lying dead on the shore
Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas
Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas
One day we will glow,
And one day we will flow
In the meantime baby
What you got to do is
Let yourself go
One day we may fly,
And the next day we may die
In the meantime baby
What you got to do is
Give it a try
One day we are fine,
The next day we may decline
In the meantime baby
What you got to do is
Learn to shine
Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas (we are the RainbowWarriors)
Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas (we are the RainbowWarriors)
Long John Silver is dumping his chemical waste
The sea is turning gray with a slick once more
All the animals are lying dead on the shore
One day you feel great and
The next day you lose your mate
In the meantime baby
What you got to do is
Have some faith!
One day you feel so free and
The next day you drive into a tree!
In the meantime baby
What you got to do is
Learn to see
One day they give you a pill and
The next day you feel really ill!
In themeantime baby
What you got to do is
Use your own will!
Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas (we are the RainbowWarriors)
Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas (we are the RainbowWarriors)
Long John Silver is dumping his chemical waste
The sea is turning gray with a slick once more
All the animals are lying dead on the shore
How many times must these words be said
How many times until it gets inside of your head
Yello, black, brown or white
Man, woman or child
Times keep on changing
But peace still has no name
Times keep on changing
But peace still has no name...
