about

Inspired by a news report that said there are only 1000 bengal tiger left in the wild. This song is about yet another WTF moment illuminating the fact that the human race is out of touch.

The intersections of environmental degradation, violence against women and loss of natural wild habitat live in this song.

lyrics

1000 Tigers (Robinson 2001 c.)

I grow oregano
I grow oregano
I grow oregano
and wash it in heavy water

Only a 1000 tigers
Only 1000 tired tigers
Only 1000 tigers
and 4 billion radial tires

It doesn't make much sense
It doesn't make much sense

I grow oregano
I grow oregano

He says he loves her
He says he loves her
He says he loves her
And then he hits her

It doesn't make much sense
It doesn't make much sense
It doesn't make much sense
It doesn't make much sense

Solo

I grow oregano
I grow oregano
I grow oregano
I grow oregano

It doesn't make much sense
It doesn't make much sense

I grow oregano
