Minamata:





A photo is a small voice but sometimes
It can wake our senses and make us all aware
Its a catalyst to get our thoughts moving
Start us on a journey we can share

Now when Chisso’s brought the work to Minamata
The townsfolk queued to get themselves a job
And for thirty years they worked blind to the dangers
Not knowing that their futures would be robbed

And Eugene came with Aileen and his cameras
To take the photos that would show the world the pain
That Chissos had inflicted on its workers
And the families that would never be the same

Now for three long years the Smiths stuck to their mission
To show the world the danger that was there
The Minamata bay was full of Mercury
And at Chisso’s well nobody cared

They lied denied and threatened all the people
And a gang of goons beat Eugene to a pulp
But the townsfolk still continued with their protests
Eugene and Aileen never would give up
