LYRICS
Step right up
March
Push
Crawl right up on your knees
Please
Greed
Feed
(No time to hesitate)

I want a little bit
I want a piece of it
I think he’s losing it
I want to watch it come down

Don’t like the look of it
Don’t like the taste of it
Don’t like the smell of it
I want to watch it come down

All the pigs are all lined up
I give you all that you want
Take the skin and peel it back
Now doesn’t it make you feel better?

Shove it up inside
Surprise
Lies
Stains like blood on your teeth
Bite
Chew
Suck
(Away the tender parts)

I want to break it up
I want to smash it up
I want to fuck it up
I want to watch it come down

May be afraid of it
Let’s discredit it
Let’s pick away at it
I want to watch it come down

All the pigs are all lined up
I give you all that you want
Take the skin and peel it back
Now doesn’t it make you feel better?
The pigs have won tonight
Now they can all sleep soundly
And everything is all right
