[00:00.79]They say he didn't have an enemy
[00:03.76]His was a greatness to behold
[00:08.82]He was the last surviving progeny
[00:10.93]The last one on this side of the world
[00:17.10]He measured a half mile from tip to tail
[00:19.94]Silver and black with powerful fins
[00:25.20]They say he could split a mountain in two
[00:28.00]That's how we got the Grand Canyon
[00:33.13]Last great American whale
[00:37.90]Last great American whale
[00:41.70]Last great American whale
[00:45.17]Last great American whale
[00:50.23]Some say they saw him at the Great Lakes
[00:52.22]Some say they saw him off of Florida
[00:57.29]My mother said she saw him in Chinatown
[01:01.31]But you can't always trust your mother
[01:05.30]Off the Carolinas the sun shines brightly in the day
[01:09.29]The lighthouse glows ghostly there at night
[01:13.35]The chief of a local tribe had killed a racist mayor's son
[01:18.41]And he'd been on death row since 1958
[01:22.36]The mayor's kid was a rowdy pig
[01:24.42]Spit on Indians and lots worse
[01:30.48]The old chief buried a hatchet in his head
[01:33.53]Life compared to death for him seemed worse
[01:38.46]The tribal brothers gathered in the lighthouse to sing
[01:42.49]And tried to conjure up a storm or rain
[01:46.57]The harbor parted, the great whale sprang full up
[01:50.56]And caused a huge tidal wave
[01:55.51]The wave crushed the jail and freed the chief
[01:59.51]The tribe let out a roar
[02:03.50]The whites were drowned, the browns and reds set free
[02:06.46]But sadly one thing more
[02:10.62]Some local yokel member of the NRA
[02:15.57]Kept a bazooka in his living room
[02:19.64]And thinking he had the chief in his sights
[02:22.68]Blew the whale's brains out with a lead harpoon
[02:27.68]Last great American whale
[02:32.72]Last great American whale
[02:35.74]Last great American whale
[02:39.75]Last great American whale
[02:43.76]Well Americans don't care for much of anything
[02:46.77]Land and water the least
[02:51.77]And animal life is low on the totem pole
[02:55.85]With human life not worth more than infected yeast
[02:59.94]Americans don't care too much for beauty
[03:03.91]They'll shit in a river, dump battery acid in a stream
[03:08.10]They'll watch dead rats wash up on the beach
[03:11.99]And complain if they can't swim
[03:16.96]They say things are done for the majority
[03:20.20]Don't believe half of what you see and none of what you hear
[03:24.86]It's like what my painter friend Donald said to me,
[03:27.97]Stick a fork in their ass and turn them over, they're done
