[ti:Last Great American Whale ]
[ar:Lou Reed]
[al:]
[00:00.00] They say he didn't have an enemy
[00:03.96] His was a greatness to behold
[00:08.91] He was the last surviving progeny
[00:11.50] The last one on this side of the world
[00:16.94] He measured a half mile from tip to tail
[00:19.16] Silver and black with powerful fins
[00:26.27] They say he could split a mountain in two
[00:28.29] That's how we got the Grand Canyon
[00:33.46] Last great American whale
[00:37.46] Last great American whale
[00:41.19] Last great American whale
[00:45.26] Last great American whale
[00:50.22] Some say they saw him at the Great Lakes
[00:52.90] Some say they saw him off of Florida
[00:57.39] My mother said she saw him in Chinatown
[01:00.83] But you can't always trust your mother
[01:06.15] Off the Carolinas, the sun shines brightly in the day
[01:09.86] The lighthouse glows ghostly there at night
[01:14.27] The chief of a local tribe had killed a racist mayor's son
[01:18.04] He'd been on death row since 1958
[01:22.60] The mayor's kid was a rowdy pig
[01:25.18] Spit on Indians and lots worse
[01:30.56] The old chief buried a hatchet in his head
[01:33.98] Life compared to death for him seemed worse
[01:39.01] The tribal brothers gathered in the lighthouse to sing
[01:43.07] And tried to conjure up a storm or rain
[01:46.99] The harbor parted, the great whale sprang full up
[01:50.98] And caused a huge tidal wave
[01:55.10] The wave crushed the jail and freed the chief
[01:59.05] The tribe let out a roar
[02:03.12] The whites were drowned, the browns and reds set free
[02:06.90] But sadly one thing more
[02:11.77] Some local yokel member of the NRA
[02:15.06] Kept a bazooka in his living room
[02:19.99] And thinking he had the chief in his sights
[02:22.88] Blew the whale's brains out with a lead harpoon
[02:27.85] Last great American whale
[02:31.35] Last great American whale
[02:35.83] Last great American whale
[02:39.59] Last great American whale
[02:44.12] Well, Americans don't care for much of anything
[02:47.26] Land and water, the least
[02:52.19] And animal life is low on the totem pole
[02:55.98] With human life not worth more than infected yeast
[03:00.81] Americans don't care too much for beauty
[03:03.78] They'll shit in a river, dump battery acid in a stream
[03:08.24] They'll watch dead rats wash up on the beach
[03:12.05] Complain if they can't swim
[03:17.05] They say things are done for the majority
[03:20.52] Don't believe half of what you see and none of what you hear
[03:25.49] It's like what my painter friend Donald said to me
[03:28.42] "Stick a fork in their ass and turn them over, they're done"
