Lyrics Last Great American Whale - 2020 Remaster - Lou Reed
They
say
he
didn't
have
an
enemy
His
was
a
greatness
to
behold
He
was
the
last
surviving
progeny
The
last
one
on
this
side
of
the
world
He
measured
a
half
mile
from
tip
to
tail
Silver
and
black
with
powerful
fins
They
say
hHe
could
split
a
mountain
in
two
That's
how
we
got
the
Grand
Canyon
Last
great
American
whale
Last
great
American
whale
Last
great
American
whale
Last
great
American
whale
Some
say
they
saw
him
at
the
Great
Lakes
Some
say
they
saw
him
off
of
Florida
My
mother
said
she
saw
him
in
Chinatown
But
you
can't
always
trust
your
mother
Off
the
Carolinas
the
sun
shines
brightly
in
the
day
The
lighthouse
glows
ghostly
there
at
night
The
chief
of
a
local
tribe
had
killed
a
racist
mayor's
son
And
he'd
been
on
death
row
since
1958
The
mayor's
kid
was
a
rowdy
pig
Spit
on
Indians
and
lots
worse
The
old
chief
buried
a
hatchet
in
his
head
Life
compared
to
death
for
him
seemed
worse
The
tribal
brothers
gathered
in
the
lighthouse
to
sing
And
tried
to
conjure
up
a
storm
or
a
rain
The
harbor
parted
and
the
great
whale
sprang
full
up
And
caused
a
huge
tidal
wave
The
wave
crushed
the
jail
and
freed
the
chief
The
tribe
let
out
a
roar
The
whites
were
drowned
The
browns
and
reds
set
free
But
sadly
one
thing
more
Some
local
yokel
member
of
the
NRA
Kept
a
bazooka
in
his
living
room
And
thinking
he
had
the
chief
in
his
sights
Blew
the
whale's
brains
out
with
a
lead
harpoon
Last
great
American
whale
Last
great
American
whale
Last
great
American
whale
Last
great
American
whale
Well,
Americans
don't
care
for
much
of
anything
Land
and
water
the
least
And
animal
life
is
low
on
the
totem
pole
With
human
life
not
worth
more
than
infected
yeast
Americans
don't
care
too
much
for
beauty
They'll
shit
in
a
river,
dump
battery
acid
in
a
stream
They'll
watch
dead
rats
wash
up
on
the
beach
And
complain
if
they
can't
swim
They
say,
"Things
are
done
for
the
majority"
Don't
believe
half
of
what
you
see
and
none
of
what
you
hear
It's
like
what
my
painter
friend
Donald
said
to
me
"Stick
a
fork
in
their
ass
and
turn
'em
over,
they're
done"
