Reed Lou - Last Great American Whale слова песни




LOU REED - LAST GREAT AMERICAN WHALEThey say he didn`t have an enemyHis was a greatness to beholdHe was the last surviving progenyThe last one on this side of the worldHe measured half a mile from tip to tailSilver and black with powerful finsThey say he could split a mountain in twoThat`s how we got the Grand CanyonSome say they saw him at the Great LakesSome say they saw him off the coast of FloridaMy mother said she saw him in ChinatownBut you can`t always trust your motherOff the Carolinas the sun shines brightly in the dayThe lighthouse glows ghostly there at nightThe chief of a local tribe had killed a racist mayor`s sonAnd he`d been on death row since 1958The mayor`s kid was a rowdy pigSpit on Indians and lots worseThe old chief buried a hatchet in his headLife compared to death for him seemed worseThe tribal brothers gathered in the lighthouse to singAnd tried to conjure up a storm or rainThe harbor parted and the great whale sprang full upAnd caused a huge tidal waveThe wave crushed the jail and freed the chiefThe tribe let out a roarThe whites were drownedThe browns and reds set freeBut sadly one thing moreSome local yokel member of the NRAKept a bazooka in his living roomAnd thinking he had the chief in his sightsBlew the whale`s brains out with a lead harpoonWell Americans don`t care for much of anythingLand and water the leastAnd animal life is low on the totem poleWith human life not worth more than infected yeastAmericans don`t care too much for beautyThey`ll shit in a river, dump battery acid in a streamThey`ll watch dead rats wash up on the beachAnd complain if they can`t swimThey say things are done for the majorityDon`t believe half of what you seeAnd none of what you hearIt`s a lot like what my painter friend Donald said to me"Stick a fork in their ass and turn them over, they`re done"
