Have you seen the little pggies crawling in the dirt?
And for all the little piggies life is getting worse,
Always having dirt to play around in.
Have you seen the bigger piggies in their starched white shirts?
You will find the bigger piggies stirring up the dirt,
Always have clean shirts to play around in.
In their styes with all their backing they don’t care what goes on around,
In their eyes there’s something lacking,
What they need’s a damn good whacking.
Everywhere there’s lots of piggies living piggie lives,
You can see them out for dinner with their piggie wives,
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon.

    General Comment:This song is great. It's definitely about politics and contradiction. Piggies eating bacon?! Who's ever heard of such a thing? Well, it happens. Just like politics. You think you know what's going on and they just do something that totally blows your mind. Such a fun song, short, easy to learn... Love.

    General Comment:Charles Manson was and still is a genius. Its a shame what happened to Sharon Tate. I'm not saying that Manson is good, because he is bad. I have closely studied Manson's methods and he is genius. Rest in peace Sharon Tate.

    “I can't dislike you, but I will say this to you: you haven't got long before you are all going to kill yourselves, because you are all crazy. And you can project it back at me ... but I am only what lives inside each and every one of you.”- Charles Manson

    “I have X'd myself from your world.”- Charles Manson

    Lets hope he is granted parole this time.

    General Comment:i think that it is about the vegitarian days and how people can be "piggies" when they eat animals. "you can see them out for dinner with their piggie wives, clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon"
