IRON TIGERS

Gene Eric Mann

Another one of my Political Folk tunes, this one smothered in Psychedelic sauce. About a “vision” I had in my early childhood. The recording has its issues, but still…

IRON TIGERS

Riding down the road
See the folks at work
Second sight kicks in
That annoying quirk

Everything transformed
Mixing blood and oil
See the folks in green
Killing as they toil

Lead the people from their fields
Iron tigers roam the hills
Turn construction to destruction
Tally up the kills
Iron tigers roam the hills

Tears role down her face
Peasants led from sight
Gunner drown their screams
Tigers fuel the fight

Take a second look
Things are as they were
In the time it took
It was but a blur

Take another look
It has been fulfilled
In the time it took
Many souls were killed
