lyrics

Cut off them fins and throw them back to sea.
Cash my payment, oh Lord, now I'm free.
And set her home boys, to our wives and kids.
And I love my kids, I love my kids.

I fish to feed, I work to win.
And when my job is done,
My family and I have won.
We live another day.
Until that stops, there's no other way.

And I'll kill the last tiger on earth,
Cut horns, steal eggs, anything of worth.
Until I"m shown a better road to drive,
The earth can wait to keep my kids alive.

It's vanity, insanity.
But that ain't my concern,
Till the man don't daily earn,
What I make in a year.
So tell me: who's the criminal here?

Cut off them fins, they mean nothing to me,
Cash my wages, ka ching ka ching.

They eat to love, I eat to live.
And after they've had their fill,
I'll return and I'll tempt them still,
Those pigs will always pay.
Until that stops, there's no other way.
