Pollution Pirates
Nina Hagen
Revolution Ballroom (1993)

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 Rainbow Warriors)
Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas (we are the Rainbow Warriors)
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!

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...
