John Hazlewood, wer ist John Hazlewood
John Hazlewood war Kapitän auf einem Supertanker
Und weil das für ihn ein harter Job war trank er
Ihm zur Seite zwanzig Mann der billigen Sorte Arbeitskräfte finsterer Meute
Wer wollte so was Besatzung nennen; nur drei waren erfahrene Seeleute
Die Exxon Valdez war sein Schiff, das zweitmodernste seiner Flotte
Und auf der Hightech-Computer-Kommandobrücke tanzte um die Lampe eine einsame Motte
Exxon Valdez, Exxon Valdez, Exxon Valdez, Exxon Valdez
Draußenn ãuber den Bergen, den Fjorden und Gletschern war der Polarhimmel sternenklar
Es sollte die letzte Nacht werden, in der ein Paradies noch 'unberührt war
Mit dreitausend Pferdestärken schieben schnaubend die Motor'n
Ein Schiff so groß wie zehn Häuserblocks, vollgepumpt mit Rohäl
Und in der Offiziersmesse kommt die Zeit für Whiskey on the rocks - schenk ein.
Wir ändern den Kurs, sprach der Kapitän, eine Abkuerzung sollte es werden
Und am Ende wurde aus einem himmlischen Winkel am Ende der Welt die Halle auf Erden
Exxon Valdez, Exxon Valdez, Exxon Valdez, Exxon Valdez
Der Kapitän schreckt hoch aus seinem Rausch und erwacht auf gestrandetem Schiff
Volle Kraft zurück, doch es war zu spät
Alarm, Havarie auf dem Blye-RiffAus dem Bauch des geborstenen Tankers erbricht sich die Ölpest im schwarzen Gewand
Und dehnt sich aus zu einem schwimmenden Teppich so groß wie das Meer zwischen Norwegen und England
Exxon Valdez, Exxon Valdez, Exxon Valdez, Exxon Valdez
Der Gouverneur von Alaska erklärt den Prinz-William-Sund zum Katastrophengebiet.
Hunderttausende von verendenden Tieren treiben an die verseuchten Ufer der einst schneßeweien Küsten. Dieses ist die gräbte Umweltkatastrophe Amerikas.
Exxon Valdez, Exxon Valdez, Exxon Valdez, Exxon Valdez
Ein Ölkonzern hat Ärger nicht gern.
Und erklärt: wir werden für alles bezahlen; nur kein Geschreie
Und im Gerichtssaal von Ankorage sprach der Richter den Konzern von Bestrafung frei.
Beschlossen und verkündet - im Namen des Geldes
Exxon Valdez, Exxon Valdez, Exxon Valdez, Exxon Valdez
Mit dreitausend Pferdestärken schieben schnaubend die Motor'n
Ein Schiff so groß wie zehn Häuserblocks, vollgepumpt mit Rohäl
Exxon Valdez, Exxon Valdez, Exxon Valdez, Exxon Valdez
