Lyrics Year of the Tiger - Everclear

(Yeah, I used to know a guy)

He was born into the Year of the Tiger
Sixty years ago when flesh and blood were black and white
He was born with a heart just like a grinding gear
Fifty eight years before the world he knew would disappear

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 lies
No one wants to hear your stupid fucking accusations
No one wants to hear you, you, you, you, oh

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, 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 way we show our stripes
We have to change the addictive way we eat the hype
We have to stop, stop spreading the disease
We have to stop saying sorry, stop saying please

You do not have to like it, tigers we are everywhere
The math that doesn't lie someday you'll face the fact
That the truth is not a slogan
On a stupid red hat

It's the Year of the Tiger (it's the Year of the Tiger)
We are still broken
From that fucked up year that disappeared (tiger, tiger)
Here we are in the Year of the Tiger (Year of the Tiger, tiger, tiger)
The Year of the Tiger (the Year of the Tiger)
Here we are in the Year of the Tiger (Year of the Tiger)

We are still broken
So fucking broken
Here we are in the Year of the Tiger (Year of the Tiger)
We are still broken from that fucked up year that disappeared
