Poacher Man

The poacher man, he comes along
Disregards what's right and wrong
The rain can't wash the blood away
From the tusks that fall from the poacher's prey
Poacher man, gun in hand
Imposes will on the big game land
No respect for the free and fawn
He's tryin' to pull some cash from a rhino's horn

With the song in the distance from a bamboo flute
And the wail from the victims of the trapper's loot
From the elephant's head to the piano key
As the owl bears witness from the acacia tree
The bird migrating in a steady largo
Only to end up as the midnight cargo
Death without a war or without chase
And the hide of the cow as it's stretched in place

The poacher man, he comes along
Disregards what's right and wrong
The rain can't wash the blood away
From the tusks that fall from the poacher's prey
Poacher man with gun in hand
Imposes will on the big game land
No respect for the free and fawn
He's tryin' to pull some cash from the rhino's horn

Poacher man, you've gone too far
You better face up to what you are
Without soul and without heart
It's time to stop tearing this land apart
Poacher man with gun in hand
Imposes will on the big game land
No respect for the free and fawn
He's tryin' to pull some cash from the rhino's horn
