Once I Was a Tiger (now I'm Just a Pig)
Once I Was A Tiger
(Now I'm Just a P.I.G.G.).
Once I was a tiger
Now I'm just a pig.
Times are tough in the jungle
I'm no long mister big.
I was a sophisticated feline
A real cool cat.
Don't embarrass me now
I don't want to
Talk about that.
I woke up with this curly tail
Lost my appetite for meat
I used to be a decent carnivore
When it was cool to hunt for meat.
But from rags to riches
There's lots of hitches
Just to satisfy
Everyone's needs.
You need a tiger in your tank,
Lots of money in the bank,
To pay for all that
Envy and greed.
My cat friends have all gone crazy.
They're vegetarians now, they hate meat.
They turn their backs
On big steak dinners
They've lost their claws
And their long sharp teeth.
They're so lazy,they don't work now
Just watch that youtube
All day long.
They've got their benefits,got their welfare,
Got their coke and they've got their bongs.
But from rags to riches
There's lots of hitches
Just to satisfy
Everyone's needs.
Get rid of class, no need for rank
Take lots of money from the bank,
To pay for all that
Envy and greed.
It's no surprise that
We're all broke now
And that the money's
Just plain gone.
That we're swimming around
In pigshit,
Hoping the plumber
Wont be long.
I'm feeling all chopped up
I'm at the end of my rind.
I'm a ham that can't be cured
just a miserable swine.
But I dream of being a tiger
In the jungle I'll be king
I'll eat everything that moves
Just want to do my own thing.
But from rags to riches
There's lots of hitches
Just to satisfy
Everyone's needs.
A billion here, a trillion there
When you're a pig
You just don't care
You've got your needs,
Your curly tail,
And you don't want to share.
