Nuke the Whales Words and music by Joseph Ficklin © 1993F / C throughout Ev'ryone around me seems concerned about the earth, Expressing their opinions about how much it's really worth, Opinions on their T-shirts so that ev'ryone can see, I have my own opinion and it suits me to a T. I do not have a sticker for the bumper of my car, I do believe some causes now have gone a bit too far, And when some long-haired tree-hugger asks me for my dough, I laugh and say I'd rather nuke the whales until they glow. Chorus: Let's nuke the whales out in the ocean Let's nuke the whales without emotion Let's nuke the whales deep down below Let's nuke the whales until they glow. They want me to recycle ev'rything I choose to use: The water in my bathtub to the paper for my news, The diaper made of plastic, now I think I'll have to pass, They can keep the 'luminum and then can kiss my glass. Environmentalists will say there's just one shade of green. They do this to annoy me, I think they all are mean. Let's cut down all the forests, kill the spotted owl for fun, And then we'll nuke the whales before the day is done. Let's nuke the whales out in the ocean Let's nuke the whales without emotion Let's nuke the whales deep down below Let's nuke the whales until they glow. Don't tell me we've polluted all the land or air or sea, The world's a pretty big place and it still seems fine to me, I can not see this future, bleak and filled with gloom and doom, Just don't ask me to leave my little air-conditioned room. The bounty of the earth is ours, given by God to man, And as you walk along life's trail, take ev'rything you can. The experts say you cannot take it with you when you go, So use it up and then we'll nuke the whales until they glow. Let's nuke the whales out in the ocean Let's nuke the whales without emotion Let's nuke the whales deep down below Let's nuke the whales until they glow. So sure this planet's wasted but you know there's plenty more, It's not as though we don't have pretty planets by the score. It's nice to know that there's a place for us among the stars So let's nuke the whales and then we'll head on out to Mars. Let's nuke the whales out in the ocean Let's nuke the whales without emotion Let's nuke the whales deep down below Let's nuke the whales until they glow.
