Raw Bean - Caught on a Net (Story of a Turtle)

Born in a sand hole, down beneath the heat
The ocean’s calling me
I see the moon, and the stars, and the streetlights
I hear the waves crashing down
I drift away as the seagulls start to prey
Oh, the sunlight’s getting harsher
I take a bite off a jellyfish swimming by
Now everything is turning dark
Was I born just to choke on a plastic bag?
Have I lived to be caught on a net?
Will I die to be served on a plate by the beach?
Oh, I don’t know, but I’ll keep the faith
The oceans rise and the beach is getting shorter
Goodbye to my hometown
Where will I go when I need some protection?
Where I was born is where tourists vacation
But hey, maybe I’ll live to be a hundred
But will there be a hundred more than me?
This is the end of a long, long journey
Half a billion years into the trash
I drift away as the seagulls start to prey
Oh, the sunlight’s getting stronger
I take a bite off a jellyfish swimming by
Now everything is turning dark
Was I born just to choke on a plastic bag?
Have I lived to be caught on a net?
Will I die to be served on a plate by the beach?
Oh, I don’t know, but I’ll keep the faith
I drift away as the seagulls start to prey
Oh, the sunlight’s getting harsher
I take a bite off a jellyfish swimming by
Now everything is turning dark
Was I born just to choke on a plastic bag?
Have I lived to be caught on a net?
Will I die to be served on a plate by the beach?
Oh, I don’t know, but I’ll keep the faith
Now this is the part when we say goodbye
Thanks for your efforts, and thanks for your time
I know it’s sad, but it’s just a little while
You’ll be joining us in the blink of an eye
Was I born just to choke on a plastic bag?
Have I lived to be caught on a net?
Will I die to be served on a plate by the beach?
Oh, I don’t know, but I’ll keep the faith
Was I born just to choke on a plastic bag?
Have I lived to be caught on a net?
Will I die to be served on a plate by the beach?
Oh, I don’t know, but I’ll keep the faith
