Pig People*

Pig people got no reason
Pig people got no reason
Pig people got no reason
To live

They got manicured hands
“Stepford Wife” eyes
They walk around
Tellin’ “flat tax” lies
They want “private” profit
And “public” loss
They let us hold elections
But it’s always “Meet the same old boss…”

Well, I don't want no Pig people
Don't want no Pig people
Don't want no Pig people
’Round here

Pig people are not the same
As you and I
(Piggy must pay)
They make life an endless competition
Until the day we die
(Let's find another way)

Pig people got big money
Pig people got big money
Pig people got big money
To love

They live in gated mansions
Our taxes subsidize
They own the goddamn system
And call it “private” enterprise
They ride in limousines
That go beep, beep, beep
They got the NSA
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They elect our dumbass Congress
With crooked cheating minds
They always stick it to us every time
Well, I don't want no Pig people
Don't want no Pig people
Don't want no Pig people
'Round here
