The Tigers Have Spoken

They shot the tiger on his chain
 In a field behind the cages
 He walked in circles 'til he was crazy
 And he lived that way forever
 And he lived that way beside them,
 Separate from the other tigers
 He did not know another tiger
 They shot the tiger on his chain
 In a field behind the cages
 He walked in circles 'til he was crazy
 And he lived that way forever
 And he lived that way forever
 Just as long as he could remember
 If he'd wanted to remember
 It was the last time he had felt alive
 When he saw that brown-haired lady
 She fed him with a bottle as a baby
 And he recalled her face and smile
 They shot that tiger on his chain
 They shot the tiger on his chain
 They shot the tiger on his chain
 They shot the tiger on his chain
 They shot the tiger on his chain
