De última nada es para siempre, Lou Reed
Velvet Underground, Andy Warhol, David Bowie
La última gran ballena americana
Dicen
que nunca tuvo un enemigo
Media un
kilometro y medio
La
última Ballena Americana
Algunos
dicen que la vieron en los Grandes Lagos
Fuera
de Carolina el sol resplandece brillante durante el día
El hijo
del alcalde era un cerdo pendenciero
Los
hermanos de la tribu se reunieron en el faro a cantar
La ola
aplastó la carcel y liberó al jefe
Pero
hubo una cosa triste
La
última gran Ballena Americana
Los
americanos no se preocupan demasiado por nada de la
A los
americanos no les importa mucho la belleza
Ven
ratas muertas al lavarse en la playa
Dicen
que las cosas han sido hechas para la mayoría

Last Great American Whale
They say he didn't have an enemy
He measured a half mile from tip to tailGrand Canyon .
Last great American whale
Some say they saw him at the Great
Lakes Florida Chinatown
Off the Carolinas the sun
shines brightly in the day
The mayor's kid was a rowdy pig
The tribal brothers gathered in the lighthouse to sing
The wave crushed the jail and freed the chief
Some local yokel member of the NRA
Last great American whale
Well Americans don't care for much of anything
Americans don't care too much for beauty
They say things are done for the majority

Last Great American Whale
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 he 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 rain
The harbor parted, the great whale sprang full up
And caused a hugh 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 sight
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 them over, they're
done"
