We want to save the Tigers
I mean to say they are
inconic really in many ways
they have to be the star
remember Blake was adamant
they burned bright, and they do
but building a great big highway
means human beings view
the forests as a means to earn
their money, and so they
log the trees and plant oil palm
they do it everyday
logging kills the forest
the planet reels no less
those idiots with chainsaws
give the people stress
its all about their profit
Belum Temengor
is ideal Tiger country
but we are closing their door
timber extraction is easy
the rich get richer quick
The Tiger gets a pasting
and all this makes me sick
oil palm its the corporates
logging yes them too
its all about the banksters
who haven’t got a clue
not about the Tigers
the environment not a bit
they can open up their mouths its true
but they talk a lot of shit
and so the Tiger suffers
and is dying out one by one
they become just victims
at the end of an arses gun
one of those bloody poachers
who needs a kicking fast
who need a bloody hiding
who needs to feel the blast
of someone else’s rifle
right between the eyes
its the only thing to save the tigers
which some now realize
