Lyrics

This fantasy is that, it is possible to fish sustainably, legally
And using workers with contracts making a livable wage and still deliver a 5oz can
Of skipjack tuna for $2.50 that ends up on the grocery shelf only days after
The fish was pulled from the water thousands of miles away
Prices that low and efficiencies that tight come with hidden
Costs
Hidden costs are by no means distinct to fishing. Other
Industries have been allowed to dump carbon into the air for free, for example
And that hidden cost to the public has accumulated into what we now call
Climate change. There is however far less awareness of the hidden cost that exists
In fishing because the oceans are such a removed realm
Lawlessness at the sea and the willingness of consumers and
Governments to ignore these costs are a kind of subsidy helping keep many of
These fishing fleets financially afloat
And these manning agencies that help hide them
Hidden costs are by no means distinct to fishing
Prices that low and efficiencies that tight come with hidden
Costs
Hidden costs
Lawlessness at sea and the willingness of consumers and
Governments to ignore these costs are a kind of subsidy helping keep many of
These fishing fleets financially afloat
Hidden costs are by no means distinct to fishing
Come with hidden costs
