New Everclear single 'Year of the Tiger', now available for streaming: fanlink.to/yott
Everclear's politically-charged single 'Year of the Tiger' marks the band's first new song since the release of their 2015 album, Black Is The New Black. “After all of the events of the last almost 3 years with Covid, worldwide shutdowns, the political debacle of 2020…emanating from in and outside of MAGA world, I felt I needed to write a song that not just explained my anger and frustration, but a song that served as a mission statement,” shares Alexakis, who was also born in a Year of the Tiger in 1962. “I feel like the tiger should be the new symbol of the new Democratic party. We will not back down, we will not forget, we hit back, we challenge lies, and we refuse to be intimidated by ignorance or loud voices. To quote the song’s lyrics, ‘Here we are in the Year of the Tiger, we are where we are because of all the big lies.’ Tigers are everywhere.”

Lyrics:
Yeah, I used to know a guy
He was born into the Year of the Tiger
60 years ago when flesh and blood were black and white
He was born with a heart just like a grinding gear
Fifty eight years before the world he knew would disappear
The Year of the Tiger
We are still broken from that fucked up year that disappeared
She was born into the promise of the shining path
Lucky in a way that no one really under stands
Ten years old with a mind just like a golden voice
She grew up in a blue state hiding from the silver noise
No one wants to hear your stupid fucking explanations
No one wants to hear your stupid reasons why
Here we are in the Year of the Tiger
We are where we are because of all the big lies
No one wants to hear your stupid fucking accusations
No one wants to hear you…you…you
I had a dream… I saw a tiger in a happy place in a nirvana shirt, with a happy face
I had a dream I saw a tiger in a MAGA hat….
Don’t look back
You can never look back
We have to change the stupid way we show our stripes
We have to change the addictive way we eat the hype
We have to stop spreading this disease
We have to stop saying sorry, stop saying please
You do not have to like it
Tigers we are everywhere
The math doesn’t lie
Someday you’ll have to face the fact
That the truth is not a slogan on a stupid red hat
The Year of the Tiger
We are still broken from that fucked up year that disappeared
Here we are in the Year of the Tiger
The Year of the Tiger
Here we are in the Year of the Tiger
We are still broken
So fucking broken
Here we are in the Year of the Tiger
We are still broken from that fucked up year that disappeared
