Oi Polloi
Thin Green Line
[Spoken intro]
When the Earth has been ravaged and the animals are dying
A tribe of people from all races, creeds, and colours
Will put their faith in deeds—not words
To make the land green again
They shall be known as the Warriors of the Rainbow;
Protectors of the environment

[Verse 1]
So here we are — a thin green line
Into the Nineties, running out of time
Extinction of our planet has already begun
But don’t let them tell you nothing can be done

[Verse 2]
Some of us are angry and fighting back
Non-violent direct action is a means of attack
No, we’re not giving up without a fight
No nuclear plant here, we’re going to trash the site

[Verse 3]
Gotta be honest, gotta be blunt
If we really want to stop them
We’ve gotta sab the hunt
Smash that bulldozer, watch the flames go higher
Pull the plug and cut the wire
[Verse 4]
We get beaten up and sent to jail
But I don’t care if that’s what it takes to save the whale
Save our Earth, save the wilderness land
Are you for us or against us? Time to make your stand

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 5]
See that whaling vessel sinking into the brine?
Taken out by a limpet mine
See those trees standing so tall?
They’ve been spiked so they won’t fall

[Verse 6]
See that excavator going up in smoke?
Sugar in the petrol tank, that’s no joke
Ecosabotage in the dead of night
Like mushrooms break through concrete in the moonlight

[Instrumental outro]
