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 that 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
maybe 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 that make you feel better?
the pigs have won tonight
now they can all sleep soundly
and everything is all right
