Tai JI and the wholesale slaughter of precious and beautiful Dolphins

Its a small place where Japanese people
believe it is right that they can
Go out in the sea, and catch wonderful Dolphins
And then kill them all that's the plan

With poles they will drive a great pod into shore
Starve them of air the next day its war
On a scale that the Dolphins have not got a chance

The others come round to protect brethren and
Are slaughtered and taken back to the land
Where their butchered on pavements in front of school boys
That appears one of the simplest joys
Killing an innocent mammal by cutting
Its head off in public and watching it butting
A very big thrust from a very sharp knife
It twitche, its blood spurts,its soul on its way
Back to the ocean broadcasting dismay

From September the carnage begins in Japan
and goes onto March that is the plan
Its immoral, its evil, it so so unjust
Its a frenzy of killing and awesome blood lust
On a species that's innocent, friendly
and sure
It lays down its live for its friends yes and more
