Greenpeace Songtext
von Teach‐In

There′s a peaceful battleship
The Rainbow Warrior
Sailing 'round the world to the shore
Where the seals are cudgeled
By them nasty furriers
Till there ain′t no more

There's a whaler looking
Like a mortal factory
Harmless whales
Are taken their lives
Interfering dingies
Of the Rainbow Warrior
Are helping to survive


Greenpeace
Greenpeace
Let and let live
Greenpeace
Greenpeace
Seal skins can't forgive.

(English spoken:)
"Every nineteen minutes man explodes
A harpoon in a whale′s back
The shrapnel from that grenade
Slowly kills that beautiful mammal
That was here forty million years
Before all of us
What right does man have to do this?"
