[Verse 1] Where did Captain Planet go? The river’s wearing motor oil We used to shout and make a fist Now the shoreline’s wrapped in plastic [Pre-Chorus] We saved the whales on Saturday By Monday, somebody sold the bay [Chorus] Hey, Captain, where’d you go? Is idealism dead or just laid low? MacGyver’s got a paperclip The A-Team’s rolling in for one last trip Airwolf’s circling the smokestack sky Eco-baddies say, “The numbers lie!” Hey, Captain, answer me— Who’s gonna save the sea? [Verse 2] The bad guys wear a company pin And pour their poison with a grin We’ve got a map and duct-tape plans And one brave whale with better sense [Pre-Chorus] We made a vow beside the pier The water’s worse, but we’re still here [Chorus] Hey, Captain, where’d you go? Is idealism dead or just laid low? MacGyver’s got a paperclip The A-Team’s rolling in for one last trip Airwolf’s circling the smokestack sky Eco-baddies say, “The numbers lie!” Hey, Captain, answer me— Who’s gonna save the sea? [Bridge] Save the whales! (Save the whales!) Save the bay! (Save the bay!) We’re still mad, we’re still loud We’re still a very inconvenient crowd! [Final Chorus] Hey, Captain, here we go! Idealism’s bruised but it won’t lie low MacGyver’s got a paperclip The A-Team’s rolling in for one last trip Airwolf’s circling, the tide runs high We’re not buying that company lie! Hey, Captain, hear our plea— We’re still here to save the sea! [Outro] Save the whales! Save the sea! Captain Planet—answer me!
