Cheeky Tiger

from Circular Mill by Jack Griffin

lyrics

Cheeky tiger by the window cill.
Biding my time. Biting our time.
I got no argument, no qualm with him,
Oh but we both know he 'aint coming in my kitchen.

Greedy rats feeding their fattest cats,
Drinking up the essence of a world.
So acknowledge this corrupted twist you blue collar passivist,
Lest we end up broken as our mother's spoils.

When I know we don't need them!
Not anymore, when there's so, so little left.
So little left.

We can't pay back what we don't owe,
To a man who owns the world.
We live in times of change,
To right the wrongs passed down from decade to decade.
Don't you know this headache can fade?

When we knew we never needed them.
Not not at all.
There's a path paved for us to walk.
And behind us, when we knew we never needed them.
And what was that unuttered breath?
Unuttered breath.
