Discover the story of the song > Cannibals – Mark Knopfler

The song talks about a little boy who spends time with his strong and loving daddy playing catch and ball games, and going for walks on the beach. The little boy worries about good and bad people, asks about dinosaurs, and later about becoming a warrior and why people go to war. There used to be cannibals a long time ago, but now there aren't anymore. The little boy faces a hurricane with his father's support, and after it passes, he is happy to find out that it hasn't affected their lives.
