Yeah I used to know a guy

He was born into the year of the tiger
60 years ago when flesh and blood were black and white
He was born with a heart just like a grinding gear
58 years before the world he knew disappeared

The year of the tiger
We are still broken from that fucked up year that disappeared

She was born into the promise of the shining path
Lucky in a way that no-one really understands
Ten years old with a mind just like a golden voice
Grew up in a blue state hiding from the silver noise

No-one wants to hear your stupid fucking explanations
No-one wants to hear your stupid reasons why

Here we are in the year of the tiger
We are where we are because of all the big lie

No-one wants to hear your stupid fucking accusations
No-one wants to hear your you you oh

I had a dream I saw a tiger in a happy place
In a Nirvana shirt with a happy face
I had a dream I saw a tiger in a MAGA hat
Don't look back, you can never look back
We have to change the stupid ways we show our stripes
We have to change the addicted way we eat the hype
We have to stop stop spreading this disease
We have to stop saying sorry
Stop saying please

You do not have to like us
Tigers we are everywhere
The map it doesn't lie
Some day you will face some facts
The truth is not a slogan on a stupid red hat

It's the year of the tiger
We are still broken from that fucked-up year that disappeared

Here we are in the year of the tiger
The year of the tiger

We are still broken
So fucking broken

Here we are in the year of the tiger
We are still broken from that fucked-up year that disappeared
