American Crocodile Lyrics

A tale of lust, a tale of greed
Of pointless slaughter, evil deeds
Fashion demons, blood red smiles
Genocide of crocodiles

Tell me are your credit cards more safe here?
Inside dead reptilian skin?
Your luggage sitting in the airport
Are the contents safe within?

Do you think you have more right here?
Than creatures from the dawn of time?
They saw the rise and fall of dinosaurs
Will they withstand all humankind?

Crocodile tears for the crocodile's plight
Millions of years, yet it seems we have more bite
We think of them as callous
As lurking hateful beasts
Yet we murder them for trinkets
Show remorse, not in the least

Do you think you have more right here?
Than creatures from the dawn of time?
They saw the rise and fall of dinosaurs
Will they withstand all humankind?

Yet from this comes some good
Protection is in place
In Costa Rica tourists
Can safely share their space

The USA's protection
Saw alligators thrive
Maybe now these crocodiles
Can also there survive

Crocodile tears for the crocodile's plight
Millions of years, yet it seems we have more bite
We think of them as callous
As lurking hateful beasts
Yet we murder them for trinkets
Show remorse, not in the least

Do you think you have more right here?
Than creatures from the dawn of time?
They saw the rise and fall of dinosaurs
Will they withstand all humankind?
