Overfishing / Gone By 2048
Coastal waters, estuaries, open seas –
Fishing grounds depleted through centuries
Barely twenty-five percent still intact
Needs increasing, no-one seems to react
Set it out at night, pull it in at dawn
Scoop them up by the ton
No matter how much seafood's sold
The by-catch will be hundredfold
Unrestrained and out of control
Overfishing is taking its toll
What will survive from days of old?
Nothing but slime and water mold
Unrestrained and out of control
Overfishing is taking its toll
Bottom trawlers scraping the ocean bed
Frail habitats crushed and left for dead
Driftnet vessels making their foray
Catching and killing all that gets in their way
No matter how much seafood's sold
The by-catch will be hundredfold
Unrestrained and out of control
Overfishing is taking its toll
What will survive from days of old?
Nothing but slime and water mold
Unrestrained and out of control
Overfishing is taking its toll
Set it out at night, pull it in at dawn
Scoop them up by the ton
What will survive from days of old?
Nothing but slime and water mold
Unrestrained and out of control
Overfishing is taking its toll
Fading at an alarming rate –
All gone by 2048
Unrestrained and out of control
Overfishing is taking its toll
