Pollution Pirates
Nina Hagen Lyrics

Pollution pirates are sailing the 7 seas
The oceans are being polluted by those who seek profit without regard for the consequences of their actions.

Pollution pirates are sailing the 7 seas
The problem of ocean pollution is a pervasive and ongoing issue that affects every corner of the world.

Long John Silver is dumping his chemical waste
Corporate interests often put profits before the well-being of the environment, leading to the pollution of the oceans and irreversible damage to marine life.

The sea is turning gray with a slick once more
The environmental effects of ocean pollution are causing the sea to become increasingly damaged, and the situation is getting worse each day.

All the animals are lying dead on the shore
The devastating effects of pollution can be seen in the lives of marine animals and their habitats.

One day we will glow
We must work towards a better future, where we can all live in harmony with our environment.

And one day we will flow
We must strive to work in unison with the environment, not against it.

In the meantime baby What you got to do is Let yourself go
In the face of such overwhelming environmental issues, we must learn to let go of our stress and negative emotions, just for a while.

One day we may fly
The possibility of a brighter, healthier future is always within our reach.

And the next day we may die
The environmental degradation and destruction we face puts our very existence into question.

In the meantime baby What you got to do is Give it a try
Despite the possibility of failure or consequences, we must try to make positive change and work for a better future.

One day we are fine
In the present, everything may seem to be working well and in our favor with the environment.

The next day we may decline
However, the damaging environmental effects of pollution can quickly turn against us, leading to consequences beyond our control.

In the meantime baby What you got to do is Learn to shine
Through the challenges we face, we must learn to always strive for good in ourselves and others.

Pollution pirates are sailing the 7 seas (we are the Rainbow Warriors)
In response to the environmental destruction wrought by corporate interests and negligence, communities are banding together to oppose them and demand change.

Pollution pirates are sailing the 7 seas (we are the Rainbow Warriors)
People around the world, of all backgrounds and beliefs, are standing together to fight against those who seek to degrade and destroy the natural world.

How many times must these words be said?
Despite the growing attention being paid to the issue of environmental degradation, there remains much work to be done.

How many times until it gets inside of your head?
We must work to actively change people's attitudes and behaviors towards the environment, to make real and meaningful change.

Yello, black, brown, or white
Environmental degradation affects every person in every corner of the world, regardless of race or background.

Man, woman, or child
The negative environmental effects caused by pollution will impact people in all stages of their lives, whether young or old.

Times keep on changing
The world around us is always evolving, and we must be prepared to adapt and grow in response.

But peace still has no name
Despite changes in society and the world, we must continue to strive for a future free from environmental degradation and harm.

Times keep on changing
Through our continued efforts and advocacy, we can make a difference in the world and affect lasting, positive change.

But peace still has no name...
Although progress can sometimes feel slow and difficult, it is important that we continue to work towards a better future - one without the ravages of pollution and environmental destruction.
