‘The ocean is boundless
But of this I’m sure
We must keep it clean
And we must keep it pure
For our sons and our daughters
We must save the waters
For that’s how this place ought to be...

But fuck the seas! Fuck the seas!
Fuck all dolphins and all manatees!
I have no quarrel
With poisoning coral
Fuck the seas, fuck the seas, fuck the seas!’
