Tiger The Lion - The Tragically Hip

This is tiger the Lion

Gimme the Knuckles of Frisco

— if there’s danger in the language,

Gentlemen,

I suggest no further use of The two-way radio.

'John Cage had come to feel

That art in our time

Was far less important

Than our daily lives,

To which so many’d become

More or less inclined.

The purpose of it’s not unique.

Not to build masterpieces

For a delectative elite

But simply to wake to your life.'

You’ll be serving the song

When you find out you won’t change

Serving the song

Walking the range.

'John Cage had come to feel

That art in our time

Was much less important

Than our daily life

If there’s a perpetual plan

For discovery days

Where everyone can take part

In what he called

Purposeless play

And there’s a sign of life in this play

Not to get order from chaos

Tell you how to create

But simply to wake to your life.

You’ll be serving the song

When we find out you won’t change

Serving the song

Bombing the range.
