1. Thrashing and splashing, there's blood in the water
2. it turns out that Killer Whales, are the whales that kill!

3. abducted children of the sea, incessantly incarcerated
4. more profits stole by the Seminole County waterhole
5. deepest emotions from the deepest oceans, have a soul?
6. family fun in orange blossom sun, constantly paraded

7. Thrashing and splashing, there's blood in the water
8. Yep, there's those Killer Whales, they're whales that kill!

9. at the fork ' o the bay, the orca did lay, then nets closed in
10. beached on the rocks, new life to live forever in a box
11. like deer at a zoo, or a turkey in a birdcage, kept under locks
12. you think those buckets of fish will make him a friend, think again!

13. Thrashing and splashing, there's blood in the water
14. Did you know that Killer Whales, are whales that kill?

15. circus on water, more bread and games for the slaves
16. free creatures now beasts of burden, just enjoy don't ask
17. buy your ticket, and get wet in your seat or cover your a*s
18. floppy fins in still water so different from straights in the waves
