Not Enough Tigers
from Lunar Colony Revolt by The Runaway Five
lyrics
tiger pits and land mines
t-bones filled with strychnine
parasites and tooth decay
extinction is underway
lumber mills and shopping malls
jungles filled with urban sprawl
they cut down your favorite tree
the new one's filled with DDT
there are too many people
there are not enough tigers
your defects are congenital
they wanna smoke your genitals
you'd like to leave that shitty zoo
but they found someone to mate with you
how's it feel to be endangered?
almost exterminated
it doesn't matter if you're stripey orange or white
there were more of you this morning than there's gonna be tonight
there are too many people
there are not enough tigers
there are too many people
there are not enough tigers
there are too many people
there are not enough tigers
t-bones filled with strychnine
parasites and tooth decay
extinction is underway
lumber mills and shopping malls
jungles filled with urban sprawl
they cut down your favorite tree
the new one's filled with DDT
there are too many people
there are not enough tigers
your defects are congenital
they wanna smoke your genitals
you'd like to leave that shitty zoo
but they found someone to mate with you
how's it feel to be endangered?
almost exterminated
it doesn't matter if you're stripey orange or white
there were more of you this morning than there's gonna be tonight
there are too many people
there are not enough tigers
there are too many people
there are not enough tigers
there are too many people
there are not enough tigers
