lyrics

Tigr on the taiga burnin' bright!
Who could frame thy fearful symmetry?

Feel so lost and lonely
And you feel so cold and hungry
When you're out there on the taiga all alone…
I feel so cold and hungry
And I get so lost and lonely
When I know I'm going to be out here all winter long…

Anarchy is dead!
That is what they said
You're just a tiger in a cage
Just a footnote on the fucking page

You better check the subtext and get a translation

I got my picture in the paper
Cuz I got everybody saying'
That a man-eating tiger has been shot dead
On the same day in the same paper
On the sixth page listed after a wedding
There was a notice that some anarchist from gulag had fled!

Anarchy is dead!
That is what they said
You're just a tiger in a cage
Just a footnote on the fucking page

Anarchy ain't dead!
That ain't what I said
You're just a tiger in a cage
You're just a footnote on the fuckin' page!

You better check the subtext and get a translation
You don't know nothin' about this situation
All that's left are some bloody footprints in the snow
Telling you a story that you'll never know…

Mama was a logger
Daddy was a poacher
I wasn't made
To live by your rules

I might have done some bad things
I might have had it coming
But mama told me
Don't be no one's fool

Out here on this taiga
The snow makes the moon glow brighter
And I'll be thinking of you all winter long
Singin' this song
You can sing along
It goes:
"Na, na, na, na, na na. Na na na, na na. Na na na naha!"

Tigr on the Taiga
Burnin' bright !(x4)

Tigr on the Taiga
Burnin' bright, burnin' bright
In the gulag of the night!
