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
