Buster looked out of his window
He pointed up to the sky
They say pigs see the wind blow
They say do or die
Just between you and me my friend
He had a rotten twin who's evil knew no end
Was the runt from a litter of two
Hey now Buster, what you gonna do?
Pig can fly
Pig can fly
Pig can fly
Pig can fly
He was a swine who wore fancy clothes
Referred to his snout as a nose
Preferred the company of snakes and bees
Drank cognac and ate Gouda cheese
Now Buster he was much bigger than that
All fresh, fly, dope, and fat
Had a dream he could fly like a bird
Up so high not an oink could be heard
Pig can fly
Pig can fly
Pig can fly
Pig can fly
Well the swine changed his name to Link
His gears cranked, sputtered, and spewed forth hate
Had a plan with a rotten stink,
Convince Buster he could aviate
He pointed up to the sky
They say pigs see the wind blow
They say do or die
Just between you and me my friend
He had a rotten twin who's evil knew no end
Was the runt from a litter of two
Hey now Buster, what you gonna do?
Pig can fly
Pig can fly
Pig can fly
Pig can fly
He was a swine who wore fancy clothes
Referred to his snout as a nose
Preferred the company of snakes and bees
Drank cognac and ate Gouda cheese
Now Buster he was much bigger than that
All fresh, fly, dope, and fat
Had a dream he could fly like a bird
Up so high not an oink could be heard
Pig can fly
Pig can fly
Pig can fly
Pig can fly
Well the swine changed his name to Link
His gears cranked, sputtered, and spewed forth hate
Had a plan with a rotten stink,
Convince Buster he could aviate

i like this song because it's really open to interpretation. they were vague enough, funny enough, and serious enough. a really good set of moe lyrics.
It actually explains what is going on in my life and is therefore a motivating song. I can only say what it means to me, and that is that Buster and Link are the same blood if not the same Pig, it never says that they are siblings "but an evil twin"
and can represent different aspects YOUR OWN personality if you will. and Buster is the side that believes that he can achieve his dreams.
"They say pigs see the wind blow, They say do or die" Link on the other hand just cranks out his job in a suit, hangs with high society Bees, eats gouda. Convincing Buster-types that they cant fly- and they are something they are not, "Referred to his snout as a nose"
"Pigs can fly" is repeated 4x for a reason and is the metaphor the impossible-
But also:
A rotten stink to a pig is not a bad thing! And while Link is an asshole
to make his life better he needs to change and follow his dreams, so he convinces Buster to Fly
That is the only explaination for the flip flop at the end. It would make too much sence if it said, "Buster can't aviate".
So here I sit at a computer programmers desk dreaming of Moe.'s buster and the time I danced by the speaker at the 6-23-07 show to Buster, wishing I was a musician. Pigs can Fly.
moe.'s lyrics tend toward the goofy, indeciferable side, especially Rob's lyrics (Rebubula, Tambourine...). I appreciate that three of the members write lyrics and sing, but at the end of the day, they're not the Grateful Dead (who hired lyricists) or Railroad Earth (who just write great songs). They're moe. and they're one of the best touring bands out there right now, not because of their lyrics, but because of the sheer instrumental prowess, telepathic playing, and grooviness that goes on and on.
