See the oil come ashore

We can't fish there anymore

There's no dolphins jumping to the sky

Watch the sea life wash up and die

A lot of questions have been asked

Time for action's long since passed

This environmental tragedy

Worst disaster in history

And I cry for the Fishermen...I cry for them

Cries of anger...Cries of fear

When will this madness come to an end

By now we all know how and why

But don't waste your time and politicize

Because sea life every minute dies!

You just can't hear them cry

cry for the sea

cry for the lost life

They put up a valiant fight

Against the oil slick of death

For all Gods creatures big and small

Including you and me

And I cry for the Fishermen...I cry for them

Cries of anger...Cries of fear

When will this madness come to an end

And oil company greed

The real cause of this mess

Investors have their profit need

Forget about the costly safety tests

The crew had orders don't you know

Losing money every day

Drill faster you're going too slow

Gotta hit oil it's the only way

And I cry for the Fishermen...I cry for them

Cries of anger...Cries of fear

When will this madness come to an end

Have we learned anything

Or will we let this happen all again
