The Story

아주 먼 옛날 호랑이가 담배 피던 시절
백두산에 한 백호가 살았어
그의 어머니는 동생들을 돌보고
그의 아버지는 인간들에게 도라지를 팔았어
그의 어머니는 그에게 늘 말했어
"사고치지말고 예의 바르게 살아, 알았어?"
그 당시 숲속은 먹을 것들도 많아서
백호는 아주 건강하고 튼튼하게 자랐어
그러던 어느 날 아주 저 멀리서
쾅쾅 하는 천둥소리들이 들려서
가까이 가보니까 사람들이 싸우면서 죽었어
모두 같은 빨간 피를 흘리며
시간이 지날수록 숲은 다 피밭
아버지가 하는 말, "어서 도망갑시다"
결국 백호의 가족들은 남쪽으로 떠나
이것이 바로 인간들의 전쟁의 시작

이건 옛날 얘기, 그냥 옛날 얘기
이상한 형이 들려주는 옛날 얘기
듣기 싫음 듣지마라, 그냥 너만 손해지
I'm ma tell you a story now, are you ready
이건 옛날 얘기, 그냥 옛날 얘기
이상한 형이 들려주는 옛날 얘기
듣기 싫음 듣지마라, 이 싸가지 없는 놈아
내 얘긴 할 거니까, are you ready

백호의 가족들이 내려오는 동안
수많은 호랑이 가족들이 죽거나 도망
하지만 시간이 흐르니 마치 동화책처럼
언제 그랬냔 듯이 돌아온 평화
산을 넘어 강을 건너서 도착한 곳이
성공이란 기회 있다는 서울이란 도시
사람들의 눈엔 오로지 질투와 욕심
그들에게 안 잡히게 조심, 조심
백호의 아버지가 그에게로 하는 말
"너도 나가서 그들이 사는 법을 배우라"
가기 전에 내가 보여주는 것을 외우라
돌을 돈으로 보이게 하는 마술이란다
수리수리 마수리 하니 사람들이
줄을 서서 인사하며 갖다 주는 무슨 술이
이렇게도 맛있고 매일 담배 무니
짐승이 인간 됐어, 인간 됐어

이건 옛날 얘기, 그냥 옛날 얘기
이상한 형이 들려주는 옛날 얘기
듣기 싫음 듣지마라, 그냥 너만 손해지
I'm ma tell you a story now, are you ready
이건 옛날 얘기, 그냥 옛날 얘기
이상한 형이 들려주는 옛날 얘기
듣기 싫음 듣지마라, 이 싸가지 없는 놈아
내 얘긴 할 거니까, are you ready

어쨌든 백호는 학교를 다녀
이 도시는 짐승이든 돈 있으면 다 합격
학교에서 배우는 건 지식보단 마법
이기주의, 남을 짓밟고 앞서는 방법
애국심보단 중요한 영어와 일어
하루 하루 지날수록 자신의 정체를 잃어
어쨌든 그렇게 학교에선 졸업해
부모들은 죽었고 동생들은 욕을 해
근데 어떡해, 이제 군댈 가야 해
새대가리 밑에서 매일 삽질해야 해
근데 제대 했더니만 이젠 돌대가리 돼
아무것도 모르고 매일 술만 처먹네
늙은 백호는 이젠 회사 백 대리
친구란 오로지 소주와 집에 테레비
교훈이 뭐냐고 묻는다면 shit, I don't know man
이건 그냥 내가 애기 때 들었던 얘기

이건 옛날 얘기, 그냥 옛날 얘기
이상한 형이 들려주는 옛날 얘기
듣기 싫음 듣지마라, 그냥 너만 손해지
I'm ma tell you a story now, are you ready
이건 옛날 얘기, 그냥 옛날 얘기
이상한 형이 들려주는 옛날 얘기
듣기 싫음 듣지마라, 이 싸가지 없는 놈아
내 얘긴 할 거니까, are you ready

The Story

A long time ago, when tigers used to smoke
There lived a white tiger on Baekdusan
His mother looked after his siblings
His father sold tiger penises to people
His mother always told him,
"Don't think too much. Just live with good manners, okay?"
Back then the forest was full of food,
So the white tiger grew very healthy and strong.
Then one day, far, far away
We heard the booming sound of thunder.
When we went closer, we saw people killing each other,
All bleeding the same red blood.
As time went by, the forest became a sea of blood.
Father said, "Let's run away, quickly!"
So the white tiger's family moved to the south.
That was the beginning of human wars.

This is an old story, just an old story
A weird guy is telling an old story
Don't listen if you don't want to, it's your loss.
I'm gonna tell you a story, are you ready?
This is an old story, just an old story
A weird guy is telling an old story
Don't listen if you don't want to, you idiot.
I'm gonna tell my story anyway. Are you ready?

While the white tiger's family was moving south,
Many tiger families died or ran away.
But as time went by, as if it was a fairy tale,
Peace returned out of nowhere.
They crossed mountains and rivers and arrived in
A city called Seoul, where there were opportunities for success.
The people's eyes were full of jealousy and greed,
Be careful not to get caught by them. Careful, careful.
The white tiger's father told him,
"You too, go out there and learn their ways."
"Before you go, memorize what I'm going to show you."
"It's a magic trick that makes stones look like money."
"When you say suri-suri masuri,
People will line up to greet you and give you something to drink."
"It's so delicious, and you can smoke as much as you want every day."
The beast has become a human, a human.

This is an old story, just an old story
A weird guy is telling an old story
Don't listen if you don't want to, it's your loss.
I'm gonna tell you a story, are you ready?
This is an old story, just an old story
A weird guy is telling an old story
Don't listen if you don't want to, you idiot.
I'm gonna tell my story anyway. Are you ready?

Anyway, the white tiger went to school.
In this city, beasts graduate too if they have money.
What you learn at school is not knowledge but magic.
Selfishness, how to trample others and get ahead.
English and Japanese are more important than patriotism.
Day by day, he lost his identity.
Anyway, he graduated from school.
His parents were dead and his siblings hated him.
But what could he do? He had to serve in the military.
He had to shovel every day under a blockhead.
But when he was discharged, he had become a blockhead.
He didn't know anything and only drank every day.
The old white tiger is now a manager at a company.
His only friends are soju and the TV at home.
If you ask me what the moral is, shit, I don't know, man.
This is just a story I heard when I was a kid.

This is an old story, just an old story
A weird guy is telling an old story
Don't listen if you don't want to, it's your loss.
I'm gonna tell you a story, are you ready?
This is an old story, just an old story
A weird guy is telling an old story
Don't listen if you don't want to, you idiot.
I'm gonna tell my story anyway. Are you ready?
