On the oceans wild and free Sail some sca-a-ry submarines It’s the Tridents armed with nukes Ghostly ri-i-sing from the sea. We would like them all disarmed Before anyone is harmed We are tired of living in fear With massive armaments so very near. Chorus: We all pay for Trident submarines Trident submarines, Trident submarines We all pay for Trident submarines Trident submarines, Trident submarines And the people on the base Seem to think that it’s a safe place, So en-vir-onmentally sound, Tell us they are green and renowned. Chorus: We all pay (etc.) Now we have (now we have) A bit of hope (a bit of hope) That the Tri-i-dents (the Tridents) May disappear (may disappear). Until they do (until they do) We’ll carry on (we’ll carry on) Objecting to-o-o (objecting to) These massive bombs (these massive bombs) The-e threat (the threat) Mu-ust end (must end) Of all these nuclear (these nuclear) Wea-a-pons (weapons). Put the Trident subs (Trident subs) To re-e-est (to rest) In peace (in peace ha ha!). Second Chorus: We resist the Trident submarines Trident submarines, Trident submarines We resist the Trident submarines Trident submarines, Trident submarines
